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
