Of course it does. For example, glibc. And many others, because the only assured⁽¹⁾ method to restart some system services is a restart (udev, hal, are classic examples).
(1) "assured" as in not needing a long explanation, and a long list of manual things to do. A restart is simply faster to explain and do.
Aw... come on, what can be more fun that going through "zypper ps" and nuking 'em one-by-one (for those ?systems? and ?configurations?, ya know..)
I do, I do... I use one terminal for the zypper ps output, and another for the killing ;-) Now explain it so that anybody understands how to do it. Because sometimes it is services that you have to restart, or just some applications. Sometimes you have to log out, log in. Other times, you have to go to runlevel 3, and some other times even to level 1. On the rest, a reboot is /needed/.
sounds somewhat masochistic. *Usually* most may be solved by merely dropping to runlevel 3 or 1/S and then taking care of the few remaining.
Yes... But it is far simpler and even faster to say "reboot". Covers all cases >;-) Common, restarting services with systemd needs a book, with all those long commands to type! :-p - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
