RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Eva Mrakova 2016-06-07 09:05:20 UTC 
Also happens for yum-utils-1.1.30-37.el6.noarch

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1192946 +++

Description of problem:
needs-restarting returns a list of PID's that have updated/deleted files open due to an previous package upgrade.

https://access.redhat.com/solutions/27943 gives recommendations when in such cases a reboot is mandatory.

needs-restarting should display information in such a way that enables users to decide upon this recommendation and even better give a hint if reboot is required.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-utils-1.1.30-30.el6.noarch
yum-utils-1.1.31-25.el7_0.noarch

How reproducible:
call needs-restarting on a system with recently upgraded glibc, kernel, hald,...

Actual results:

  Caution!
  Kernel or core library packages have been updated!
  Reboot required!
  See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/27943 for details.


Additional info:
added a new option -r (--reboothint) to needs-restarting.py that adds the desired output.
Patches for RHEL6 and RHEL7 are attached.
Comment 1 Valentina Mukhamedzhanova 2016-07-25 14:21:34 UTC 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux version X is entering the Production 2 phase of its lifetime and this bug doesn't meet the criteria for it, i.e. only high severity issues will be fixed. Please see https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/ for further information.
