  Great idea:

  ./needs-restarting
pid: 1
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./needs-restarting", line 138, in <module>
    sys.exit(main(sys.argv))
  File "./needs-restarting", line 118, in main
    for fn in get_open_files(pid):
  File "./needs-restarting", line 85, in get_open_files
    for line in maps.readlines():
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied



  From this we see:


$ ls -l /proc/1/smaps
0 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 0 Jun 28 13:25 /proc/1/smaps

$ cat /proc/1/smaps
cat: /proc/1/smaps: Permission denied

So that is the source of the problem - tho it probably should not give up.
