    Rebooting is not a long term solution. Finding the problem and fixing it is.

    Dev should not have server reboot access. Lead Dev should be the only one who has that, or, like in my company, the Dev team understands that rebooting a production server is a very serious thing with potential repercussions. I know DevOps and all that jazz but cmon.

    Do. Not. Reboot. Production. Servers.

    Hell, we don't even reboot our internal office Dev server without serious reasons.

    I hope he is communicating with the users before rebooting.
