[suse-security] Patch Noifications

[Ron Joffe <rjoffe@xxxxxxxxx>]

A thread on another list I follow talked about server uptime, and reboot 
requirements due to patches (security). The understood result at the end of 
the thread was that the only time a reboot was required was after a kernel 
patch.

My questions is two fold. First is this group aware of any other patches that 
would require user interaction. For example if I have set up automatic 
updates, in what instances would I need to reboot and/or manually restart a 
damon. 

Second question, if there are any user interaction from previous question, 
what method of notification (email) is there to notify an admin of the 
requirement (otherwise the machin is not protected for that security 
vulnerability).

Thanks,

Ron
