needrestart - interpreter support
=================================
Needrestart checks running processes for using obsolete binaries. If no
obsolete binary was found needrestart scans for known interpreters.
There are special packages (NeedRestart::Interp::*) implementing the
source code file list extraction. The executable (/proc/<pid>/exec) is
used to detect the running interpreter.
Whenever source files where located their ctime values are retrieved. If
any of the source files has been changed after process creation time
a restart of the pid is triggered. This is no perfect valuation since
there are no inode informations like for loaded binary objects nor has
needrestart any chance to get a verified list of sourced files..
NeedRestart::Interp::Perl
-------------------------
Recognized binaries: /usr/(local/)?bin/perl
Find source file by: command line interpretation
We are using `Module::ScanDeps` to find used packages. This should work on
any static loaded packages, dynamic stuff will fail.
NeedRestart::Interp::Python
---------------------------
Recognized binaries: /usr/(local/)?bin/python.*
Find source file by: command line interpretation
The source file is scanned for 'import' and 'from' lines. All paths in
`sys.path` are scanned for the module files. This should work on any
static loaded modules.
NeedRestart::Interp::Ruby
-------------------------
Recognized binaries: /usr/(local/)?bin/ruby.*
Find source file by: command line interpretation
The source file is scanned for 'load' and 'require' lines. All paths in
`$:` are scanned for the module files. This should work on any
static loaded modules.
