Bug ID: 195218
Summary: Handbook: Tell exactly a restart is required
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: Needs Triage
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: Documentation
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
The Handbook says that if freebsd-update applies kernel patches the system has
to be rebooted. However (thinking with the perspective of a user who is new to
FreeBSD), how are they supposed to know what parts are kernel-related?
And then also is it necessary to reboot if a new kernel module gets installed
or can it just be reloaded (if so - how?).
Additionally if it doesn't interfere with the Handbook style, what about
placing a link from the update page to "Managing Services in FreeBSD" i.e.
... the affected applications [and services] should be restarted ...
I hope I'm not too picky - thanks for the great documentation that comes with
FreeBSD :-)
