   On the Fedora box I run 'dnf needs-restarting'. Often it does but today   
   pam was updated and it suggested a restart. In the pacman installs there   
   is a line where it decides if a reboot is necessary and pops up a message.   
      
   Depending on what I'm doing I may or may not reboot.
