I don't know about Courier, but Apache is generally not affected by on-disk versions of libraries. The CGI programs however, are, since they're started up and shutdown with each request (or in the case of FCGI in X requests) - the Apache workers are spawned from the root process and use that process image. So there is no definite need to shut down Apache and disrupt service. If a running webserver is important to you, I also would not do this automatically. For example, jpeg could be upgraded before Apache and a module for Apache needing it, yet this module is depending on Apache and therefore not recompiled yet. As a result, this module tries to load a non-existing library and Apache restart will fail. -- Mel _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
