Should a package restart on upgrade itself

[Matthias Fechner]

Dear all,

it is always a pain if pkg upgrade a lot of packages to restart all
services to make sure update/security fixes are applied to all running
services.

Is there an option in pkg that it restart services automatically or is
it OK if I would add a post-install script to the packages (I maintain)
that will include a "service foo restart"?

What is best practice here?


Thanks
Matthias
