Server question: Restarting

[Disgraced 1123]

I noticed the other day that I was on a server that sent a global message at intervals, letting the players know what times the server was set to restart.

Does everyone set their servers to automatically restart on a schedule, or is it up to the particular admin?

the reason that I ask is that the server that had the message was running well and had good gear and loot drops and so forth.

I've been on a lot of servers that look very picked over, even in fairly remote locations, so i was wondering if those servers maybe aren't rebooting?

Bonus question: Do crashed helicopters spawn only at reboot, or randomly at any time?

cant speak for everyone, but i have LU15 restart every 8 hours, it seems to help with lag, and those pesky client create errors, not sure what happens with the loot after a restart, sometimes ive logged on right after to check the server is up, and it seems all new fresh loot, sometimes, its fairly empty.. afaik vehicles respawn after a restart though.

I guess what I am looking for is a west coastish server that restarts reasonably so it's not looted out all the time.

If it seems homey enough, will donate.
