It also has intelligent defaults, such as not suggesting restarting services that would cause a problem, like your display manager or logind. It can operate interactively like this, or you can ask it to simply list the services it needs to restart. > It seems to work pretty well but I need to get used to how it > works.

I found that too. As needrestart is nicer to use, I run that first then checkrestart after if I feel like it. One difference is that needrestart doesn't list all the user processes that can only be restarted by logging out of the desktop. -- Neil Bothwick If Microsoft made cars: "The airbag system would ask "are you sure?" before deploying."
