Bug#843778: needrestart: restart systemd user daemons and user services
On Debian 9.8 restarting the systemd user services as root with "systemctl restart user@.service" works for me: # needrestart [...] User sessions running outdated binaries: root @ user manager service: systemd[6372] admin @ user manager service: systemd[2398] # systemctl | grep user@ user@0.serviceloaded active running User Manager for UID 0 user@1000.service loaded active running User Manager for UID 1000 # systemctl restart user@0.service # systemctl restart user@1000.service # needrestart [...] No user sessions are running outdated binaries. I hope this helps, Marco -- OpenPGP Key ID: 0x62937F7F
Bug#843778: needrestart: restart systemd user daemons and user services
Hello, I've seen that needrestart reports the user processes when run as user. Could you extend needrestart to show the dialogue and restart the systemd units: ``` % id -u 1000 % needrestart Prüfe Prozesse... Veraltete Prozesse: dbus-daemon[885], emacs[12635], firefox[30570], firefox-bin[20556], Privileged Cont[26250], pulseaudio[29837], Web Content[21597], WebExtensions[20752], Xorg[12276] % systemctl --user status -n0 29837 30570 2>/dev/null |grep '^●' |sed 's/ -.*//; s/.* //' |uniq pulseaudio.service ff.service % systemctl --user restart pulseaudio.service ``` Regards Jörg -- Die Erde ist das einzigste Irrenhaus, das von seinen eigenen Insassen verwaltet wird.

Bug#843778: needrestart: restart systemd user daemons and user services
Package: needrestart Severity: wishlist systemd can run its daemon as a user and manage services for that user. The user services can be restarted in much the same way as system services. It would be great that instead of listing these daemons in the outdated binaries section, needrestart would list the commands to restart them: sudo -u uid systemctl --user daemon-reexec sudo -u uid systemctl --user restart name.service other.service # systemctl status ● chianamo State: running Jobs: 0 queued Failed: 0 units Since: ...
