[BlueOnyx:21439] Re: 5207R, 5208R, 5209R: YUM Updates

[Christoph Schneeberger]

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your work, much appreciated!

One thing I noticed with my 5208/5209 openvz VPS is that whenever an 
update affecting sendmail or apache hits the repos I have to manually 
restart half of them with
/killall [httpd|sendmail]; service ///[httpd|sendmail]/ restart/
because nagios kicks off and calls me on the phone, naturally in the 
middle of the night when these updates tend to be applied.

I understand that these services sometimes do not restart properly after 
updates/changes as it has always been the case, but with 5106 and 5107 
these "booboos" always were catched and nicely and timely fixed by swatch.

I wonder if I am the only one hitting this feature of celebrating the 
advent of shiny new 5208/5209 updates with a hot chocolate in his hand 
midnight ?

Cheers - Christoph
