This was asked several year ago but the thread has gone stale. I think the question is still relevant today: why are our packages that modify a systemd unit not trigger `systemctl daemon-reload` via a pacman hook or post_install script? Per my inspection of everything in [core], [extra], and [community] (see below), nothing is doing it at last with a script. Seems perfect for a pacman hook, no? Pros? Cons? Perhaps this is best reported in the bug tracker.
% find /var/abs -type f -name '*.install' -print0 | xargs -0 grep daemon-reload
EDIT: FS#50529; let's see what the devs think.

Con: it screws up timers.

I believe those are all "OnCalender" timers. Try it with an "OnActive" timer.

Manager Lifecycle Commands
daemon-reload
Reload the systemd manager configuration. This will rerun all generators (see systemd.generator(7)), reload all
unit files, and recreate the entire dependency tree. While the daemon is being reloaded, all sockets systemd
listens on behalf of user configuration will stay accessible.This command should not be confused with the reload command.
This sounds rather intrusive and very similar to re-running init.
How well do X , gnome, KDE, server applications cope with this ?
Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

@Scimmia - Don't think I have any of that type... will check on a some other boxes.
@Lone - Does not reset my displaymanager if that's your question.

Not what i meant, people can run "pacman -Syu" from an x-terminal (even i do it sometimes before running makepkg).
What will happen if your hook is executed while a user is in X and has multiple programs open ?
