Hi there. Today there’s a update of libXfront. After than I updated. What I should do?

  • If you’re using CentOS-6 or -7 you can use the command
    “needs-restarting” (as root) to see what processes were effected by the updates and make your decision based on that.

    I’ve had mixed results in the past with needs-restarting; some hosts didn’t report anything even if there were updates that needed a service to restart.

    As Reindl Harald suggested me off-list a while ago:

    lsof | grep DEL | grep /usr

    This gave me a more reliable view.
