Was often wondering, there are endless processes that show with zypper ps as still using old outdated files that are meanwhile gone and replaced hollywood:~ # zypper ps The following running processes

See 'man zypper' for information about the meaning of values in the above table. Or do I not need to care about these processes, is there an automatic way of restart by the operating system itself? Via cron and similar timely fashions some processes do get started and restarted and shat down every now and then as far as I understand, but I am unaware if all these pending files get handled eventually? Does linux need reboots just the same way as windows for these mere processes? I know that I need reboot for applying new kernels and stuff related to that.
