Noob Question: What to do after 'sudo zypper dup'? (lemmy.ml)

Hey, so i have kind of a noob question :D When i update all the packages on Tumbleweed with 'sudo zypper dup' there are many packages that need to get restarted since these active processes using deleted files. Normally i just restart my whole Computer for that but i wonder if there is another possibility, perhaps restarting only the libaries that are affected while my computer is still running. Is there a command for that or is it essential to restart the whole computer after updating?

There is sudo zypper ps -s which will show you all process needing a restart so you can manually handle them. I find it easier just to reboot though.

So you really need to restart every single one instead of all at the same time? That sucks D:

I've never really looked for a way to do that. I suppose you could write a script to do it.
