SYNOPSIS

11       dnf needs-restarting [-u] [-r]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       needs-restarting  looks  through  running processes and tries to detect
15       those that use files from packages that have  been  updated  after  the
16       given process started. Such processes are reported by this tool.
17
18       Note  that  in most cases a process should survive update of its binary
19       and libraries it is using without requiring to be restarted for  proper
20       operation.  There  are however specific cases when this does not apply.
21       Separately, processes often need to be restarted  to  reflect  security
22       updates.
