I just ran it, here's the output:
Found 22 processes using old versions of upgraded files
(15 distinct programs)
(14 distinct packages)
Of these, 10 seem to contain init scripts which can be used to restart them:
The following packages seem to have init scripts that could be used
to restart them:
sys-apps/smartmontools:
5082 /usr/sbin/smartd
sys-auth/consolekit:
4384 /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon
app-text/dictd:
4834 /usr/sbin/dictd
sys-fs/mdadm:
3742 /sbin/mdadm
net-dns/unbound:
4507 /usr/sbin/unbound
net-print/cups:
4767 /usr/sbin/cupsd
sys-apps/dbus:
4369 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon
net-misc/ntp:
4975 /usr/sbin/ntpd
net-fs/samba:
5015 /usr/sbin/smbd
5045 /usr/sbin/smbd
5021 /usr/sbin/nmbd
app-crypt/ekeyd:
4851 /usr/libexec/ekeyd
These are the init scripts:
/etc/init.d/smartd restart
/etc/init.d/consolekit restart
/etc/init.d/dictd restart
/etc/init.d/mdraid restart
/etc/init.d/mdadm restart
/etc/init.d/unbound restart
/etc/init.d/cupsd restart
/etc/init.d/dbus restart
/etc/init.d/ntpd restart
/etc/init.d/ntp-client restart
/etc/init.d/samba restart
/etc/init.d/ekey-egd-linux restart
/etc/init.d/ekeyd restart
These processes do not seem to have an associated init script to restart them:
sys-fs/udisks:
5357 /usr/libexec/udisks-daemon
5350 /usr/libexec/udisks-daemon
sys-apps/util-linux:
