I reboot it whenever I update, which depends on how many updates there
are. I don't schedule any sort of reboot.
If you're worried about corruption of message bases, you can go through
and lock them all before doing an update.
smbutil options
       L    = lock a msg base for exclusive-access/backup
       U    = unlock a msg base
You'll obviously have to loop through all the bases, or you can just
take your chances.
