[OpenIndiana-discuss] updates and reboots

[Goetz T. Fischer]

of course but that raises the question why new libs would require a reboot. the worst that could happen 
is that programs which depend on that lib would crash if they're restarted. but if they're also updated, 
then the next time they're restarted or just started it'll be fine.
let's say there's a new openssl so i simply copy the new one over the old one, restart ssh and i'm good.

similarly i can for example update rhel for months without a reboot and that works. and i don't mean 
live kernel patching. basically i only have to reboot for kernel stuff. but for everything else i just 
don't see a reason for all these reboots.
