Dear all, it is always a pain if pkg upgrade a lot of packages to restart all services to make sure update/security fixes are applied to all running services. Is there an option in pkg that it restart services automatically or is it OK if I would add a post-install script to the packages (I maintain) that will include a "service foo restart"? What is best practice here?
