hi Stephen,

funny :)
Imagine having to figure out all of the services running on a machine that use a given library and restart them all. It is technically possible of course, but it is non-trivial.
I wonder: in theory, we ought to easily be able to find any installed pkgs that have a dependency on a given shared lib pkg, and then just call their restart methods. But is there a generic way to restart services provided by a pkg when you only know the name of the pkg?
In this particulare case, I also feel it's mostly a no-op, since the packages for the daemons are also upgraded at the same time, in the most common case, so it should take care of itself.
right, although for some reason not in this case? That might just have been a side-effect of a failed download, or something.
no problem, feel free to close... :) cheers, c. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
