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?
You can inspect a package's scripts by doing:
rpm -q --scripts php
In this case (at least on rhel4as) apache is not restarted/reloaded.
