When I upgrade bacula I always restart fd, dir and sd after upgrading otherwise the new program is not loaded and the old version is still used. If that's the behavior you want why upgrade in the first place. In my opinion its the right thing to do when uninstalling a port otherwise the program is still running even if its removed! Did a rm -rf once on the wrong directory and all programs kept running. Had to reinstall them all because after a reboot they would not start again because the executables were missing. I think sysadmins will know what to do when upgrading.
