From the process name, you can deduce the service and restart it.
I've never needed a reboot for this kind of problem.
You may have to switch to run level 1 to restart some important
services like udev.
Actually, you can kill udev and restart it. Kill the process and then
run "/sbin/udevd --daemon" and it will be started again.
Yeah, or you could, you know, just reboot.
Frankly I have never figured out the irrational fear Linux people have
about rebooting their machines after a big upgrade. It takes my laptop
way less time to shutdown and restart than it does for me to manually
stop and restart everything that just got updated, and I can go grab a
soda in the meantime.
