Tickling this thread to see if I can get a confirmation of the described
behavior for rpm update via yum.
I do not want to cross-post (but if this is not the correct forum, please let
me know).
Thanks,
Scott

Subject: yum update for postgresql rpms
RHEL 7.9
PostgreSQL 12 (12.5.1 to 12.6.1)
I am updating RPMs for postgres and was interested to know whether this is
indeed expected behavior for the rpm update:
When the "yum update" is executed, postgresql rpms are updated. It looks at
that point, postgresql (postmaster) processes automatically restart. In the
procedure I was building, I figured I'd need to stop/start postgres (systemctl
stop postgresql-12, systemctl start postgresql-12), but that doesn't look to be
necessary.
I don't recall this automatic postmaster restart occurring a few weeks ago when
I went from 12.4.1 to 12.5.1 - perhaps it did, but I just stopped/re-started
postgres unnecessarily.
Thanks,
Scott
