That might be the usual sequence for some people, but not me. My normal sequence is... do nothing.

Router has a script that detects if the internet connection has gone down and automatically resets the modem interface. It'll also detect when the modem has crashed, but since I don't have an IP switched PDU it can't reset it automatically so sends me a message to do so. Powering off my PC won't solve anything so I don't even bother with that... I'm yet to see the router crash so have never had to power that down.

Looking at your server though, I was petrified when I found one here which hadn't been patched or rebooted in nearly two years. That's mighty impressive! Though I must say - I sure hope that's not even remotely connected to the internet while running a 15-year-old OS...

Still, Sun systems were notoriously good for never needing to be powered down - they were great machines.
