Ok, fair enough.

There already is for system services but not user services.

systemctl will report when daemon-reload is needed when restarting things.

Bug#843832: needrestart: detect need for a systemctl daemon-reload

thanks

Hi Paul,


needrestart tries to detect which daemons (read: processes in the
broadest sense) should be restarted due to upgraded libraries (read:
code to be somehow *executed*). Configuration files etc. are beyond the
scope of needrestart (maybe there should be a mechanism around apt to
handle reloading systemd).


HTH,
Thomas

Bug#843832: needrestart: detect need for a systemctl daemon-reload

[Paul Wise]

Package: needrestart
Severity: wishlist

When systemd service configuration files are modified, there is often a
need to ask the systemd daemons to reload their configuration files:

systemctl daemon-reload
sudo -u uid systemctl --user daemon-reload

The need to reload systemd service configuration files can be detected
using these commands, passing the names of all loaded units.

systemctl --property NeedDaemonReload show name.service other.service
sudo -u uid systemctl --user --property NeedDaemonReload show name.service 
other.service

The list of loaded units can be found using these commands:

systemctl --all list-units
sudo -u uid systemctl --user systemctl --all list-units

Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be machine-parsable.
