hm I always do updates manually and watch what swup is doing. I haven't noticed it is not restarting apache or some other service that needs restarting. if you've noticed - probably it's possible.
RE the kernel upgrade - I don't think it is a good idea to upgrade the kernel and not reboot the machine. If you've decided to do kernel upgrade - do the reboot too. Don't want to find out the new kernel is not working if power outage or similar reason reboot the server unexpectedly. regards Kxt --- Andy Bakun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sat, 2005-08-20 at 06:33 -0700, Kxt 70 wrote: > > I don't see it as a problem since Apache restart > is > > quite fast. > > > The problem is not how long it takes to restart > apache.
