I've not had that problem since I stopped admin'ing the SPARC series of
workstations and servers. I just checked my SunFire 280, and it hasnt'
rebooted in about 2 months, even though last week I did three reboots on the
windows server to which it is attached (pesky security updates)...
Perhaps, though, your experience is different... I dunno...
