Package: needrestart Version: 3.5-4 Severity: normal The time needrestart takes to analyse processes is to a great amount influenced by the existence and count of perl processes:
----8<----8<----8<---- # systemctl stop spamassassin.service # time needrestart -lp OK - Services: none, Containers: none, Sessions: none|Services=0;;0;0 Containers=0;;0;0 Sessions=0;0;;0 real 0m0,716s user 0m0,479s sys 0m0,233s # systemctl start spamassassin.service # time needrestart -lp OK - Services: none, Containers: none, Sessions: none|Services=0;;0;0 Containers=0;;0;0 Sessions=0;0;;0 real 0m2,668s user 0m2,314s sys 0m0,335s ----8<----8<----8<---- On another system (3.4-6 on buntu) the times are comparable but rise to 2 minutes when the sympa daemons are running as well. This delay is a major inconvenience when installing packages or refreshing in apt-dater. When used for monitoring standard timeouts are exceeded.
