I have asked myself over the years... just what happens during the update process? For instance, the latest updates included updates to php. I'm wondering if apache is restarted or reloaded to read the new php updates?
More broadly... if this is done, is it done pretty much for every interrelated update, I guess with the exception of kernel updates?
Thanks for all the hard work.
Best, John Hinton
If I am not mistaken, the individual rpm's need to have post-install scripts to restart whatever processes that are necessary.
