needrestart 1.0
Posted on 2014-06-17 in Projects • 1 min read
needrestart checks which daemons need to be restarted after library upgrades. It is inspired by checkrestart from the debian-goodies package.
needrestart supports but does not require systemd. If systemd is not available or does not return a service name needrestart uses hooks to identify the corresponding System V init script. The shipped hooks support the following package managers:
- dpkg
- rpm
- pacman
The service command is used to run the tradiditional System V init script.
