Hi, There was an update of glibc on CentOS 6 http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2015-January/020863.html and now:

How do i tell /sbin/init to use the updated files from glibc without a reboot?
You can't. See the manpage for /telinit/ and the warning for the "-U" option.
<snip> U or u to request that the init(8) daemon re-execute itself. This is not recommended since Upstart is currently unable to preserve its state, but is necessary when upgrading system libraries. <snip> which one assume applied to fedora when it was using upstart, not sysV or systemd. No data on either of them.
The question was specifically about CentOS 6, which uses upstart. SysV init could re-exec itself cleanly. I have no idea, but plenty of doubts, about systemd.

"systemctl daemon-reexec" will re-exec systemd. It does mostly the same thing when it gets SIGTERM, according to the man page.
