I don't ever trust that the automatic updates will restart the services. If Postfix gets patched, I restart manually. Same goes for BIND, Apache2, and MySQL.
On my SuSE 9.0 boxes running fou4s to update apache2 caused the service to stop running. A simple restart of the service was enough to fix it. On SuSE 9.1 it kept running, but only on one of the two 9.1 boxes I have with apache2 running was the automatic 'kill -HUP' from the update successfull. Again, a manual restart and no problem.
Not worth debugging, but it's worth looking twice to make sure your apache2 server is still running after the upgrade, especially if you're running fully automated updates...
