If you're using centos-6 or -7 you can use the command "needs-restarting" (as root) to see what processes were effected by the updates and make your decision based on that.
I've had mixed results in the past with needs-restarting; some hosts didn't report anything even if there were updates that needed a service to restart.
As Reindl Harald suggested me off-list a while ago:
lsof | grep DEL | grep /usr
This gave me a more reliable view.
