NAME

       whatmaps - Find and restart services after library upgrades

SYNOPSIS =encoding utf8

       whatmaps [--restart] [--print-cmds=FILE] pkg1 [pkg2 pkg3 ...]

DESCRIPTION

       whatmaps tries to find a list of services that need to be restarted after a library
       upgrade because they map that particular library into their address space. It does this by
       extracting a list of shared objects from the packages given on the command line. It then
       looks at the list of running processes to find those that map the shared objects and uses
       the distributions package manager to find out the packages that ship them. It then prints
       a list of services in these packages that likely need to be restarted.

       By default it assumes all services in the found packages need a restart but it also keeps
       a internal distribution specific list of exceptions.

       If the --restart option is given, the services are restarted without any prompting and
       with the --prind-cmds option the restart commands are written to a file for later
       execution.

       On Debian systems whatmaps can also be run automatically by apt-get. See
       "/usr/share/doc/whatmaps/README" for details.
