If it is well built, sure. At one of my jobs, one of the firehoses requires a messy restart every few days as it was left to decay and now everything is out of date.

- janosdebugs 4y agoTypically, not really. If a software is badly built, it isn't as simple as following a set of well-described instructions. Random stuff breaks all the time due to hidden dependencies to other servicea, and debugging it is definitely not a job to be entrusted to an intern. If it was easy to restart, you could write a cron job for it.
