Yes, the server will spew to the console and log something like this: Your server needs to be restarted in order to receive the latest update.

The above message has been reported by servers for the last couple of years, you shouldn't have seen it recently. - Alfred [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Alfred, when you do this (which is a great idea, BTW) will the server > give a message about being out dated?
