[gentoo-user] Restart agetty after update @world?

[Matthias Hanft]

Hi,

for weekly updates, I'm using the usual update commands, such as

emerge -NDuv @world
emerge -c
revdep-rebuild -i

In order to find out which services are still using old versions
of updated programs/libraries, I add

lsof | grep -w DEL | grep portage

and /etc/init.d/XXX restart for those services.

But now, there's agetty left, and I don't know how to restart this
service (without reboot):

[...]
agetty     3438            root  DEL       REG                8,4           30199325219 /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.23-r4/image/lib64/libnss_files-2.23.so
agetty     3438            root  DEL       REG                8,4           30199325229 /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.23-r4/image/lib64/libnss_nis-2.23.so
agetty     3438            root  DEL       REG                8,4           30199325233 /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.23-r4/image/lib64/libnsl-2.23.so
agetty     3438            root  DEL       REG                8,4           30199325236 /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.23-r4/image/lib64/libnss_compat-2.23.so
agetty     3438            root  DEL       REG                8,4           30199325238 /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.23-r4/image/lib64/libc-2.23.so
agetty     3438            root  DEL       REG                8,4           30199325230 /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.23-r4/image/lib64/ld-2.23.so

There is a /etc/init.d/agetty service, but it's stopped anyway.
I already found some discussions in the net which stated that
"init q" should do the job, but this doesn't work here (just
nothing happens).

Is there a way to restart agetty and finally drop those old
libraries?

Thanks,
