NAME
       needs-restarting - redirecting to DNF needs-restarting Plugin
       Check for running processes that should be restarted.
SYNOPSIS
       dnf needs-restarting [-u] [-r]
DESCRIPTION
       needs-restarting  looks  through  running processes and tries to detect
       those that use files from packages that have  been  updated  after  the
       given process started. Such processes are reported by this tool.
       Note  that  in most cases a process should survive update of its binary
       and libraries it is using without requiring to be restarted for  proper
       operation.  There  are however specific cases when this does not apply.
       Separately, processes often need to be restarted  to  reflect  security
       updates.
OPTIONS
       All  general  DNF  options  are  accepted,  see  Options  in dnf(8) for
       details.
       -u, --useronly
          Only consider processes belonging to the running user.
       -r, --reboothint
          Only report whether a reboot is required (exit code 1) or not  (exit
          code 0).
       -s, --services
              Only list the affected systemd services.
CONFIGURATION
       /etc/dnf/plugins/needs-restarting.d/

       Packages  can  be  added  to  needs-restarting via conf files in config
       directory. Config files  need  to  have  .conf  extension  or  will  be
       ignored.

       although it is advised to use one file for each package.
