NAME

6       tracer - finds outdated running applications in your system
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Tracer  determines  which  applications  use  outdated files and prints
10       them. For special kind of applications such as services or daemons,  it
11       suggests  a  standard  command to restart it. Detecting whether file is
12       outdated or not is based on a simple idea. If application has loaded in
13       memory  any  version of a file which is provided by any package updated
14       since system was booted up, tracer consider this  application  as  out‐
15       dated.
