'dnf update' (using the tracer plugin) often tells me to restart certain services via systemctl, which is fine. However on occasion it tells me to restart something manually. I can usually figure out how to do this, but the one I can't figure out is systemd itself:
... You should restart:
- These applications manually:
systemd # systemctl daemon-reexec # tracer You should restart:

systemd
Sending HUP, TERM etc. to systemd doesn't make any difference.
Is there a way to do this without rebooting?
systemctl daemon-reload or systemctl daemon-reexec
As I said above, that doesn't work. Or maybe it does work, but tracer doesn't think so and I don't know any other way to tell. Maybe the problem is in tracer (see the second part of my post).
(Is rebooting that big a burden?!)
That would depend on other factors. Restarting systemd shouldn't mean killing any long-running processes.
