A reboot should be only necessary when kernel has been upgraded. or you go with ksplice (www.ksplice.com)

Hello,

I always wanted to ask: do you need to reboot after updating packages like kernel, glibc, postgresql?

Or do you need to restart the postgresql service after updating it with yum?

Regards Alex
