I'm just an user, but... if I ask the service to be restarted when it is not started yet, I would expect the rc script to fail as early and loudly as possible, no ? Somebody suggested interactively asking the user about restarting the service, it means more babysitting of the upgrade process which is bad. A big warning message "You should restart service $FOO when you are done updating" is good. Even better, all such messages could be displayed at the end of the upgrade process, so that they are not lost in the middle of the normal progress indicators. Juste my €0.02. -- Fred
