Of for god sake just reboot. Digging around to find everything running on old binaries is seldom worth the time.
This reminds me of an old joke: "Windows have detected that you have moved your mouse pointer. Please reboot for the changes to take effect" Is it time to s/Windows/Linux/g now? I dont tink so. And running machines serving 3000+ users, reboot is not an everyday option.
You didn't mention having 3000+ users on this machine, and the post was about VMware tools, and any version of Vmware would require massive hardware to serve vmware to 3000 users. Since the 3000 users on Vmware seemed unlikely, I presumed you were running a personal machine.
But more to the point, anyone running a system with 3000 users would (should) know that there is no ill effect of having a process running a deleted module. The system is designed to do this.
Err, the deleted object was deleted because of a security update. So of course you should make sure that nobody is still using it ... specially on a system with 3000 users because the probability that one of them wants to do something nasty is much higher than on a single user system. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
