I just did 23 critical updates on a test server. It asks me if I want to reboot when Im done. It also says that no other critical updates are available. If I dont reboot it, are the newly installed updates not in effect? I ask because I cant imagine that businesses with tons of servers are always bouncing they're production boxes becuase of updates? I really dont want to bounce all of mine and I dont have that many. Are there only certain types of critical updates that require a reboot? Is there just a service or two that I can restart to have the same effect? Any other alternative?



Any that say you must reboot before the changes will take effect, I presume you must reboot before the changes will take effect. This isn't linux, after all.
