> [...] any software [...]

This covers a lot of ground.

For Apache, I'd expect not.

In most cases, reading the product's
installation instructions may be helpful.

Re: Whether Installation of Apche software requires a reboot or not.

Installing most software does not require a reboot, with the exception of software that would control hardware say for example HBA's. One such example is PowerPath (EMC product), because it controls failover of your HBA (pvlinks), and as such would require a rebuild of the kernel to implement the software.

But I do not believe that Apache would require a reboot.

Re: Whether Installation of Apche software requires a reboot or not.

Generally, applications like Apache are not going to require a reboot. The things that do require reboot affect kernel filesets, require re-building the kernel and, thus, require a reboot. This is rarely true for applications software.

Hello,

use the -v flag from swlist

a depot bundle for example:
# swlist -v -l fileset -s $PWD/ENHAUTO.depot '*' |grep is_reboot |sort -u
is_reboot false
is_reboot true


this command will ask all included fileset for the arg is_reboot, if you have 'true' somewhere, you need a reboot.

No need to use -v once you have found the attribute.
# swlist -l fileset -a is_reboot -s $PWD/ENHAUTO.depot '*' | sort -u

Your right Dennis.

Shalom,

No.

you can update the service, restart it without bouncing the server.
