More often than it should, I'm afraid - about once every two weeks. The
main problem here is that our power grid is rather flaky, the UPS has
died recently and to complicate things even further I have to wait for
the management to approve the expenses - which means it'll take at least
two more weeks for the replacement battery to arrive and even more for
the electricians to rewire at least this section of the mains (which
probably won't help much because the glitches affect the whole
building).

In short, this server has to work in quite unfriendly conditions and I
have to bear with what I have for a while, with trying to mitigate all
the problems as they appear being the best (and the only sensible)
option.
