    Having run tracer after a system update how do I determine what it is referring to with the following messages:

You should restart:
* These applications manually:
     DiscoverNotifier
     Isolated Web Co
     Privileged Cont
     RDD Process
     Socket Process
     Utility Process
     Web Content
     WebExtensions

Does:

# tracer --helpers

... make things clearer? Or, for example

# tracer -s 'Privileged Cont'

Always check the --help for a command and/or its man page.

Issuing tracer -s 'Utility Process' now tells me that application Utility Process is not running, so how do I determine what it was?

Also having just done an update now tracer tells me that goa-daemon and plasmashell should be manually restarted. Tracer -s goa-daemon tells me it is package gnome-online-accounts, and from its name I'm assuming it can be restarted via systemctl, but as I'm using KDE I can potentially ignore the restart suggestion, would that be correct?
With the suggestion to manually restart plasmashell how do I do that without shutting the system down or is the KDE environment not running under Plasmashell?
