• Is the "S" really uppercase when using ls flag for sort by size?
• Which batch jobs should be set up in crontab?
• When you talk about regularly restarting Voyager, is just restarting Voyager, Apache and Oracle sufficient, or is a system reboot (therefore changing uptime) still important?
  • See What tasks are required to maintain the Voyager server? and note recommendations under "Reboots" section. Daily application restart and weekly server reboot are recommended.
