Abstract

Techniques for selectively restarting processes based on API changes are provided. Information is stored that can be accessed to identify processes that are affected by an API change. The stored information can be modified to reflect the API change and the processes that are affected can be restarted. Thus, processes that are not affected by the API change need not be restarted.
