Arch Linux port of Debian's checkrestart utility

Debian has this really cool program available in the debian-goodies package which lists processes that need to be restarted in order to fully apply package upgrades. I like this tool a fair bit, so I ported it to work on Arch. Enjoy!

Re: Arch Linux port of Debian's checkrestart utility

I believe the code that starts at line 131 should read something like

    for f in blacklistFiles:
        try:
            file = open(f, "r")
            for line in file:
                if line.startswith("#"):
                    continue
                blacklist.append(re.compile(line.strip()))
        except IOError:
            print('The file', f, 'does not exist, ignoring ')

Thanks for the port

Compare https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/a … 33791.html for a similar concept.
