NeedRestart checks which daemons need to be restarted after library upgrades.
It is inspired by CheckRestart from the debian-goodies package.

Features:

- Supports (but does not require) systemd
- Binary blacklisting (i.e. Display Managers)
- Tries to detect required restarts of interpreter based daemons (supports Java, Perl, Python, Ruby)
- Tries to detect required restarts of containers (Docker, LXC)
- Tries to detect pending kernel upgrades
- Tries to detect pending microcode upgrades for Intel CPUs
- Could be used as Nagios check_command
- Fully integrated into APT/DPKG using hooks as well as integrated into DNF using DNF's Python plugins
- Added Zypper Full Upgrade script/command to integrate Zypper with NeedRestart straight away
