By default needrestart does query the user before restarting any services for safety reasons. If it is run non-interactive it should not restart services by design - as long you did not change it's configuration to do so. The behavior before 2.11-3+deb9u1 was a bug and has been fixed in stretch's point release 9.4[1]. [1] https://www.debian.org/News/2018/20180310 BTW: needrestart 2.11 has a buggy detection(=croaks a lot of Perl warnings) if it is run non-interactive (see also Debian Bug#859387). It has been fixed in needrestart 3.0+ (which is available in bpo). > But a ps show that the service has not been restarted for 2 weeks: > nagios 880 0.0 0.1 23912 4084 ?

You could change the default mode to automaticly restart (that also effects the interactive mode). (Hint: with needrestart 3.0 it is possible to set the NEEDRESTART_MODE environment variable to override needrestart's restart mode... might be used in the unattended-upgrade cronjob).
