I restart every now and again just to make sure it still works, and that everything I expect to get loaded, gets loaded. Nothing worse than being obliged to do it for whatever reason and finding out the hard way (while you&#x27;re in the middle of something else...) that something&#x27;s gone wrong.<p>It also puts the computer back into a known state, and gives you smaller PIDs&#x2F;thread IDs&#x2F;etc. again...
