Right. I would use one of the many existing implementations of this
rather than rolling your own:

checkrestart (from debian-goodies)
needrestart
whatmaps
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/mirror/dsa-nagios.git/tree/dsa-nagios-checks/checks/dsa-check-libs
http://tracer-package.com/
needs-restarting (from yum)
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/hobbit-plugins.git/tree/client-ext/libs
limited implementations in the libc/pam/openssl postinsts
