Q. I know I need to reboot my box when the kernel is updated for it to
come into effect but I have automatic update running so... I can I tell
if I need to reboot my machine?
A. Compare the currently running kernel version with those installed.
To see what's currently running do:
uname -r
And you might get:
2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686
To see what's installed (on RedHat/Fedora/CentOS) do:
rpm -q kernel
And you might get:
kernel-2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686
kernel-2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686
If the version you are running is the biggest one installed then you don't
need to reboot.
