DAMHIKT. this is fixed in the meantime so that the current sshd process with your sessions get's no longer killed, this problem was introduced with systemd F16/F17 upgrade and is a very good example for "not do it this way" because it killed also "yum complete-transaction" repeatly fact is you have NO IDEA in a larger update what happens if services are restarted randomly and so it is very bad to go this windows way and make admins life harder bother the ordinary GUI user with OfflineSystemUpdates* but leave us yum-admin-folks completly in peace at all while assume that we are knowing what we are doing - keep your fingers as much off my environment as possible * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/OfflineSystemUpdates
