After updating with dnf I usually run "sudo tracer" to see what needs
to be restarted. I've noticed that the results are often inconsistent,
e.g. after a recent update I get:
You should restart:
* Some applications using:
kdeinit4
* These applications manually:
abrt-applet
chrome
dolphin
evolution
evolution-addressbook-factory
evolution-addressbook-factory-subprocess
evolution-alarm-notify
evolution-calendar-factory
evolution-calendar-factory-subprocess
evolution-source-registry
file.so
firefox
firewall-applet
goa-daemon
goa-identity-service
gvfs-goa-volume-monitor
gvfsd-smb-browse
insync
kaccess
kded5
kdeinit5
kglobalaccel5
kmix
konsole
krunner
kscreen_backend_launcher
ksmserver
kuiserver5
kwalletd5
mission-control-5
plasmashell
polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1
qbittorrent
xembedsniproxy
yakuake
Additionally to those process above, there are:
- 6 processes requiring restart of your session (i.e. Logging out & Logging in again)
Note that last line. I exited the session and immediately logged into a
(non-GUI) console as root, then ran tracer again, getting this:
You should restart:
* Some applications using:
service firewalld restart
service gssproxy restart
service libvirtd restart
service nmbd restart
service smb restart
service sshd restart
service tuned restart
* These applications manually:
cagibid
cupsd
fail2ban-server
rsyslogd
Additionally to those process above, there are:
- 1 processes requiring reboot
Again. note the last line. So there are two issues here:
1) The first run of tracer didn't spot a bunch of services and other
demons that needed to be restarted.
2) It also didn't spot that I needed to reboot, meaning that just
logging out and in again would not have left me with a consistent
system.
Not sure if this can be classed as a bug or a feature.
