check_needsrestart

#!/bin/sh

# This check uses the debian tool 'checkrestart' (contained in 'debian-goodies' package) to find processes that use libraries that have been upgraded
# if checkrestart is not available there is a fallback to parse the lsof output for deleted libraries that are still in use
# The check needs to be executed 'root' (if possible: use sudo for the check command only!)

# TODO
# 1. It's not tested on platforms that run some kind of lightweight virtualiztation such as Linux vServer, LXC, docker or OpenVZ
#    since this check is based on checkrestart which itself is based on lsof there are probably some quircks when it comes to the host seeing all processes
#    possible solutions:
#    - only run this check on the virtualization host
#    - fix this check to only consider processes in the current PID namespace. If it's the root PID namespace, ignore all processes NOT belonging to the root PID namespace
