Scheduled Restart of IDP Service

[Dave Perry]

The one time we've had this issue in our 6 years of running an IdP, was after I upgraded the OS on the VM from SLES 10SP4 to SLES11 SP3.
It needed a restart every couple of weeks or so - this was V2.

For IdP v3, we started from scratch, and have had no restarts needed caused by the IdP seizing up itself - occasionally certain network events have provoked needing to do it.

Subject: Scheduled Restart of IDP Service

Hello All,

It was brought to our attention that every two weeks or so our IDP server will not respond to requests. When this happens we just  stop and start the shibd_idp.exe  service and everything starts working again. 

I was wondering how other organizations restart their shibd_idp.exe automatically and how often do they do this.
