Does Arch have any tool to check what services needs restart?

Question

Does Arch have any tool to check what services needs restart after software update just like `checkrestart` from Debian flavoured distros or `needs-restarting` from Red Hat ones?

Answer 1

Maybe there is some other temporary file that is not a library but deleted that slips through. I got my awk version now to replace my old hack code.
__pids="$(sudo lsof -F pfn |
awk '
/^n/{
# if this file is a deleted library or binary, show it
if (del == 1 && match($0, "bin|lib")) {
print pid;
del=0;
del = 0;
/^fDEL$/{
# the next file is deleted
del = 1;
/^p/{
# we check a new process
del = 0
pid = substr($0, 2)
}' |
sort -un |
paste -sd ' '
)" && [ -n "$__pids" ] && ps -p "$__pids" && unset __pids || unset __pids
Edit: Reorder logic, don't execute ps if no processes are found.
