Yes, but for some reason you want a GUI alert to tell you important things, which is a foreign concept to me. What I envision is knowing what is running on your server and updating programs purposefully, with knowledge of how they interact and what problems version inconsistency could cause.



You're the one proposing the enumeration of affected programs and services and restarting them as a solution!! How is using a GUI a foreign concept? Are you debating the merits of a GUI in 2018?

In any case, my assumption here is we're trying to help the user and give them an easy way to know what to do, instead of leaving their software in an undefined state.


Great. For one, I was initially confused because I thought you were the author of the post I replied to you. Next, yes. I think we should do that.
