Description : Find processes mapping shared objects
After package upgrades processes using a ahared library need to be
restarted to make use of that updated library (e.g. if the library got a
security upgrade).
.
Whatmaps looks for shared objects in packages and finds running programs
that map them, list them and allows one to restart them.
.
It can be integrated with apt to automatically restart services
automatically on security upgrades.
.
It has a built in list of relationships that allows to e.g. restart
libvirt-guests instead of qemu-kvm when qemu-kvm gets updated.
Git already carries a debian/ branch but I fail to keep that up to date
for sid continously so a maintainer would be appreciated.
