Re: Some questions around needrestart utility
Hello,
basically it seems to detect which service needs to be restarted after
an upgrade
I installed needrestart (and needrestart-session too) because it is
suggested by unattended-upgrades (installed and running on my system,
with apt-listbugs), so when something has been upgraded and needs to be
restarted, needrestart pops up on my display to warn me
