https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195218 Bug ID: 195218 Summary: Handbook: Tell exactly a restart is required Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: Needs Triage Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Documentation Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: mathieu.sim@gmail.com The Handbook says that if freebsd-update applies kernel patches the system has to be rebooted. However (thinking with the perspective of a user who is new to FreeBSD), how are they supposed to know what parts are kernel-related? And then also is it necessary to reboot if a new kernel module gets installed or can it just be reloaded (if so - how?). Additionally if it doesn't interfere with the Handbook style, what about placing a link from the update page to "Managing Services in FreeBSD" i.e. ... the affected applications [and services] should be restarted ... I hope I'm not too picky - thanks for the great documentation that comes with FreeBSD :-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
