??? I always shut down all running daemons when I'm about to update my system - seems like standard operating procedure to me: 1) I'd expect that it would be completely unpredictable what would happen if you updated/replaced an application's files while it was running, 2) there's often config file changes that occur; again, I don't want to try to update or resolve those while an application is running.


It's not necessary to do so in most cases, but, you might be interested in 
checkservices [0].
We use it when we update Arch servers, but we don't bring the system to rescue 
because, you know,
that would interrupt all the services. And almost all of them (all?), can run 
just fine until they
are restarted. So, my suggestion to you is, run pacman, and optionally run 
checkservices afterwards,
to restart things that might be needed, if you want. No need to put the system 
in rescue mode.
