It's a secret :-) Seriously, I noticed it maybe a year or so ago and have mentioned it several times on this and other lists, but it's still not well-known. It certainly didn't exist 13 years ago. The earliest reference I can see in a quick Google is early 2010 (F12).
$ rpm -q --changelog yum-utils | grep -C1 needs-restarting * Wed Nov 04 2009 Seth Vidal <skvidal at fedoraproject.org> - add needs-restarting
I noticed it had appeared in yum-utils some time in the last year or so
- yum-utils is one of those packages that I infrequently do a rpm -ql
yum-utils | grep bin for in case anything new has popped up - I think it's also been mentioned on the list a few times.
Oh good: if it's in yum-utils I have it on all machines. So does it run itself, like at least some of the other things in that package? Or should I be invoking it on occasion?
