Need-restart ?
Hi,
today I updated the glibc packages on some CentOS machines. After the Update I checked which services/processes I have to restart “yum -C ps” or “needs-restarting”
At the most machines I get no information about necessary restarts, but at two machines a long listing :
1 : /sbin/init
386 : /sbin/udevd-d
659 : /sbin/udevd-d
999 : /usr/sbin/vmtoolsd
1103 : auditd
1128 : /sbin/rsyslogd-i/var/run/syslogd.pid-c5
1170 : rpcbind
1188 : rpc.statd
1229 : dbus-daemon–system
1270 : /usr/sbin/acpid
1279 : hald
1280 : hald-runner
1325 : hald-addon-input: Listening on /dev/input/event2 /dev/input/event0
1329 : hald-addon-acpi: listening on acpid socket /var/run/acpid.socket
1350 : automount–pid-file/var/run/autofs.pid
1366 : /usr/sbin/mcelog–daemon
1386 : xinetd-stayalive-pidfile/var/run/xinetd.pid
1486 : /usr/sbin/abrtd
1494 : crond
1505 : /usr/sbin/atd
…….
Can someone tell me why I get different output for the same action ?
Regards, Kai

Did you run the command BEFORE the updates, to see if something was pending before the update was done?
Are the machines identical or do some have services not running on others?
No, I have not done it before.
One of the machines, who gave me the output was rebooted on last thursday and no updates were installed since this day (rpm -qa –last) .
The machines have identical kernel (2.6.32-431.23.3) and OS version
(CentOS release 6.5 (Final)). One of the affected machines is a new Installation and waiting for some services.
The deleted flags are the same as in /proc/1/maps
