University of Antwerp - PATS

>Description:
Almost every port containing a service stops the service before updating but does not restart it afterwards. I was wondering how difficult it can be to restart the updated service after installing the files? In my opinion, it would be less error-prone than hoping for the administrator to remember restarting all updated services...
While this depends on every port maintainer, a general guideline about this would help and encourage maintainers to do this.
>How-To-Repeat:
e.g. update apache22
>Fix:
Fix the ports, adding a restart after installation procedure.
