[rhn-users] finding info about additional steps in updates

[Hiren Patel]

hi all,

i have searched around redhat network a little to find information on
additional steps required after running updates. examples could be to
suggest that httpd needs to be restarted after an update of the httpd
package, or certain programs using a shared library need to be restarted
after an update of the shared library.
i realize it might be a case of common sense to find out what one needs
to do after updates, and that a reboot would probably be the safest
option, but there are times when we're not able to reboot soon enough
and have done bulk updates in which some might be critical.
i looked through the errata information but failed to find anything
there. is such information provided by redhat? am i just not looking in
the right place? any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks.
