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?

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