I've tried using needs-restarting after updates, but never had it report that anything was needed, either running it as myself or as root. Today's update included Firefox, Thunderbird (both running at the time) and a new kernel.
[joe@khorlia Desktop]$ su -c needs-restarting Password: [joe@khorlia Desktop]$ needs-restarting [joe@khorlia Desktop]$
If it's actually supposed to do something, it's b0rk.

Running F14 x86_64. I didn't upgrade the kernel - waiting for ATrpms kmdls
[John@localhost ~]$ su Password:
[root@localhost John]# needs-restarting

Thunderbird and Firefox restarted here
Update smart's package caches:
[root@localhost John]# cd /var/lib/smart [root@localhost smart]# /usr/bin/python repomanage.py --old ./packages | xargs mv -t ./purged1 [root@localhost smart]# /usr/bin/python repomanage.py --old ./purged1 | xargs rm -f [root@localhost smart]# needs-restarting [root@localhost smart]# exit exit
Haven't seen any problems yet...

Interesting. I tried again, using su - instead of su -c to see what happened and it still reports nothing. In fact, it's never reported anything needing restarting. Clearly, my copy of it's b0rk. Any ideas why? (I haven't restarted anything yet, and will hold off for a little bit in case there are any suggestions.)

May I wish you better luck than I had with Fedora 15. It does appear to be a troublesome release, so I'm staying with Fedora 14 for now.

I just fired up my laptop, also running F 14. After making sure firefox and the GIMP were running, I used yumex to update my system. Both were updated, but running needs-restarting, either as root or as myself returned nothing needing restarting. Has anybody else seen this on F 14?

In the earlier post I ran it as root: I've run it before both as root and as myself and the results have been plausible and the same. k3b was another recent example.

i did not know "needs-restarting" before some posts on this mailing-list but for me on F15 it DOES NOT work too, it gave nothing out after a lot of updates including running services like httpd and php itself
