Hi, sorry if this is not the place to ask (and in that case please
point me in the proper direction).
I'm trying to distinguish when a system reboot is an absolute need
and when it is absolutely safe to keep the system running/working
after a `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade`, once
I have already performed a complete restart of all needed services
through `sudo needrestart' options in Debian testing.
So, in a situation like this:
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package list ... Done
Creating dependency tree ... Done
Reading status information ... Done
Calculating the update ... Done
The following packages have been withheld:
imagemagick inkscape libc-bin libc6 libc6-dbg libcrypt1
libpoppler-glib8 local openssh-client openssh-server
openssh-sftp-server ssh
0 updated, 0 new will be installed, 0 to remove, and 12 not updated.
$ sudo needrestart
Scanning processes...
Scanning processor microcode...
Scanning linux images...
Running kernel seems to be up-to-date.
Failed to check for processor microcode upgrades.
No services need to be restarted.
No containers need to be restarted.
No user sessions are running outdated binaries.
$ sudo checkrestart
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfsd-fuse file system /run/user/1000/gvfs
Output information may be incomplete.
Found 6 processes using old versions of upgraded files
(1 distinct program)
(0 distinct packages)
No packages seem to need to be restarted.
(please read checkrestart(8))
, would be perfectly safe and right to keep the system running or on
the contrary should I perform a (warm/cold?) reboot to be safe?
Thanks a lot in advance for any hint or info.
Kind regards.
PS: `apt-get dist-upgrade` output is translated to English..., system is
in Spanish and I keep not-remembering how to force console output
to English, sorry...
