This is why I love OpenSUSE, when you update your system it will let you know when updated files that certain processes are using were touched and you can then decide if you want to restart them.

Suse systems in general are just so much nicer to administer than RedHat or Debian/Ubuntu ones (imo of course).

htop(1) can also highlight running processes that have had their on-disk executable replaced (highlights in red) or one of its shared libraries (highlights in yellow). I find this very useful.

btop as well

Debian can do just the same, at least for a libc upgrade and a few others you get asked if you wish to restart now or later.

Very nice. Looked up real quick how this works. Haven't used Debian in years so nice to see this kind of stuff now.
