Hi,

can anyone please explain the difference between the output of
      yum ps                (from the RPM yum-plugin-ps)
and
      needs-restarting      (from the RPM yum-utils)

I couldn't find many infos about those 2 commands.

I'll take a whack at clarifying.

yum ps - tells you what packages are associated with which processes. Can be used before the fact to determine if doing that update is a good idea.

needs-restarting identifies (after update) processes using packages (typically libraries) which have been updated.

Is that enough?
