Sorry for the late posting... it's an RPM specification that RPM package installation should perform completely unattended. Restarting a daemon is possible in the postinstall script but it seems a task which should be asked to the sysadmin to be performed or not (like APT and DEB packages did - but they are NOT assumed to be performed unattended).
