Hello list,

if I want to do a uptime-record I have always the possiblity to shut 
down daemons (when needed) and start them again, without rebooting the 
system! That is very nice! I had many days and weeks running my nicely 
freebsd-server. BUT every time I updated the patchlevel (in example 
5.2.1-RELEASE to 5.2.1-RELEASE-p14) I had to reboot my system. But then 
the counter of uptime is starting at zero again :-(

Question: Is there a possiblity to run the system inclusive patching it, 
without rebooting? Goal is to run a system maybe longer than a year!!!

With regards
Stevan
