Script for detecting services that need to be restarted after upgrade

[Kenneth Holter]

Thanks for your reply.

I'm not sure if a complete restart of the system is necessary. If one for
example upgrade a library package used by a particular service, it should,
to my best knowledge, be sufficient to simply restart that service.

My colleague found a script that may help in determining which services need
to be restarted after a upgrade.
