Package: needrestart Version: 2.11-3 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
during automated processes, such as puppet runs or automated upgrades, it is sometimes acceptable to restart daemons without asking. In this case, I would like to have my system return to the normal way of operation after the automated processing. It would, therefore, be not a good idea to actually modify /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99needrestart because one would need to re-edit the file to its original state. Would it be possible to have /usr/lib/needrestart/apt-pinvoke source a (normally not existing) /etc/needrestart.conf where one could put the options in? or even an /etc/needrestart.d where one could drop a file and remove it afterwards? In the mean time, I have added an 98needrestart which calls apt-pinvoke -r a, but this of course means that needrestart runs twice - once noninteractively, doing the necessary restarts, and a second time interactively with (hopefully) nothing to do. Is this intended/acceptable use?
