Carlos: yes I'm on Tumbleweed but I'm not comfortable with your solution, fire the upgrade only when I'm ready to reboot means waiting 2000 packages to install to reboot once in a month or reboot every now and then.
It doesn't matter if you like it or not, but that is how things are. If you do not reboot after updates that require it (which are most of them, actually),
*actually*, only kernel and dbus updates require rebooting iirc.
then do not bother to install the updates. They are not actually applied till you restart all the affected programs (which is a chore, sometimes difficult, and sometimes impossible), or reboot (which is far simpler and often faster).
not my long experience with Tumbleweed.
See this thread:

for an example of strange things that happened to me once I forgot to reboot after an update.
and I have a little used laptop, <uptime> 17:52:51 up 273 days 7:59, 7 users, load average: 0.06, 0.19, 0.18 which is updated daily. your experiences apparently are not universal. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet oftc
