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..)
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. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
