Automatic restarts of daemons is not good I think. At least not as long as the config files of the daemons which would be restarted are checked for consistency with the newer version. I would always do this manually, so I can step in if something bad happens. As far as the libraries are concerned a restart of a depending daemon could happen automatically. It's config files wouldn't have changed. Also it is not likely that a restart would fail. If you stay away from ~arch at least. :) Initially I wrote about a notification. Maybe equery d PACKAGE and lsof | grep DEL are a good start for watching what happens after an update. Thanks for your replies. Timo -- [email protected] mailing list
