Description Jack 2014-12-11 19:25:51 UTC
I have two items, and am filing as a wishlist, although the first might count as minor bug.

1) if I type "checkrestart -h", after the usual output the last line says "(please read checkrestart(1))" so either please add a man page, or remove this message - it i sunfortunately misleading.  ("equery -f checkrestart" says there is only the script itself.)

2) if checkrestart finds processes/programs that are not in packages, it doesn't list them, and I have yet to find a way to identify those processes.  From the code, it looks like the info is in within the python structures created, but my python is not good enough to do it myself.  (I'll continue to play with it, and will submit as a patch if I succeed, but it will likley take a while.)

Reproducible: Always
