OpenSuSE Tumbleweed notes

After zypper dup (dist-upgrade) or zypper up (update) a zypper ps will list processes using deleted files (i.e. processes that likely need to be restarted).

Some processes that can be restarted without reboot:

  • rcvmtoolsd restart
• irqbalance
  • rcirqbalance restart
• login
  • logoff
• polkitd or dbus-daemon
  • rcdbus restart
