[OpenIndiana-discuss] server power cycling at very predictable moments

[Daniel Kjar]

Hmmm....  I will avoid updating anything for a couple weeks and see if 
it cycles.  I bet you might be on to something.  Although that would be 
a very very MS kind of thing to do.  I can't imagine Oracle would 
powercycle a server without direct intervention by the user.  The NFS 
horror...
