Almost every Linux distribution supports "init" scripts to start and stop services. Usually, during an update, a service that got updated is restarted - with feedback given to the admin if the service does not start up properly. Furthermore, if the admin is absent (I might misunderstand what you meant with "absentee"), no upgrade to a major version will take place. > Keep in mind we're trying to get more people to join the club. > Beating them and throwing them out in the street when they > mispronounce the secret word is bad for business.
