needrestart (notice: only one "s") works out of the box, hooking into APT by scanning after each APT run and emitting warnings both in APT session and (with needrestart-session installed) in X11 user session. checkrestart is in package debian-goodies. I don't use it but believe it is not integrated with default APT package handling workflow. I was unaware of whatmaps. Thanks for promoting that, Guido. Seems from its package description that it doesn't integrate with APT out of the box either - is that correct? If noone shouts out correcting my vague assessment here, I suggest we go with needrestart! - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
