checkrestart is a program designed to help to find processes that need
|
||
|
|
restarting after upgrade.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
checkrestart walks thought entire file table of the system, searching for
|
||
|
|
processes using node detached from filesystem.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The typical use case is:
|
||
|
|
- starts a long lived program.
|
||
|
|
- later, upgrades your packages via pkg_add -u.
|
||
|
|
- if the program is updated on disk, the running program is still the
|
||
|
|
previous one (without security fixes for example).
|
||
|
|
- checkrestart will tell you which processes belong to this category.
