Package: needrestart Version: 2.8-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
currently the apt-pinvoke helper exec's needrestart without any arguments when run from APT. If you want to use different modes of operation when using APT and when using needrestart interactively it's currently necessary to use the standard config file for APT, which means the user has to add -c <path-to-config> for each interactive calls, which is a bit burdensome. My use case is the following: 1.) by default when run from APT restart a less important services automatically, the more important ones are blacklisted in a file in /etc/needrestart/conf.d/ 2.) the admin user can then use needrestart to list/restart the more important services manually and while on the machine, by providing a different config file (which is ignoring the blacklist in conf.d/), which currently means calling it with -c <path-to-config> It would be nice to be able to set a different config for APT, so the interactive call of needrestart is could be plain 'needrestart' again.
