Hi all,

After I do an upgrade, I use needrestart to see what processes need
restarting, and restart them. I notice though that some are never marked
for restart - the main ones are dbus.service and
systemd-journald.service (this is on jessie btw, but I assume similar
issues exist in stretch).

I assume this is because it's not safe to restart them? What would
happen if I did?

Is there a way to perhaps re-exec them (the way it was possible with
sysvinit, IIRC) so that they reopen their libraries, and possibly their
own binaries? It would be very helpful to not have to reboot.

Cheers,
Richard
