I invariably do updates while logged in and using stuff. I then decide
what needs to be restarted, or if I have to log out, or the system
needs to be rebooted. On Fedora there's a useful utility called tracer
that helps decide this (it checks if any virtual memory pages belong to
processes whose package was updated after the process started).
