Yes, it's called a reboot. Nothing else will get the job done and guarantee it's done right without errors. The better way is to just look at the files that were changed, decide for yourself if they need to be restarted and if so restart them manually. If this reply sounds snarky, it's because your question is actually nonsensical from a Unix perspective (although probably quite reasonable from a human perspective). This is a situation that requires either a sledgehammer approach or intelligent human intervention. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
