Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure if a complete restart of the system is necessary. If one for example upgrade a library package used by a particular service, it should, to my best knowledge, be sufficient to simply restart that service. My colleague found a script that may help in determining which services need to be restarted after a upgrade. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=247251 Regards, Kenneth On Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 8:34 AM, Anton Hofmann <doomrunner.lists@xxxxxxxxx>wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > A complete restart of the system is necessary in order to complete the > upgrade correctly, so you can > forget those scripts. > > > T-One > > Kenneth Holter schrieb: > > Hi. > > > > > > When upgrading our RHEL 4 and 5 servers, it would be nice to have some > way > > of determining which services need to be restarted (or maybe if the > server > > itself must be rebooted) in order for processes to start using the the > > upgraded libraries and such instead of the old ones.
