NAME

6       dnf5-needs-restarting - Needs-restarting Command
7

SYNOPSIS

9       dnf5 needs-restarting [--services | -s]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  needs-restarting  command  determines whether the system should be
13       rebooted to fully apply changes  from  package  installations  and  up‐
14       grades.  Without any options, dnf5 needs-restarting will report whether
15       any important packages were installed or upgraded since boot. This  set
16       of important packages includes the kernel, systemd, each package listed
17       here: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/27943, and any package marked
18       with a reboot_suggested advisory.
19
20       The  needs-restarting command will exit with code 1 if a reboot is rec‐
21       ommended, or, when invoked with  --services,  if  any  systemd  service
22       needs  restarting.  If  no action is recommended, needs-restarting will
23       exit with code 0.
24

OPTIONS

26       -s, --services
27              List systemd services that need restarting. If the package  that
28              provides  the service, or any of its dependencies, have been up‐
29              dated since the service started,  then  restarting  the  service
30              will be recommended. Note that this approach is quite aggressive
31              to recommend a restart when one may not be strictly necessary.
