   Almost. But there is at least one core library, the C runtime, that is   
   linked into just about every process that runs. So an update to that   
   library requires those processes to restart.   
      
   It?s likely those service restarts happened without you noticing.

   Greg Kroah-Hartman, ?Mr Linux Device Drivers?, has said   
      
   that running the latest securely-patched stable kernel (important on   
   public-facing servers, for example) would mean a kernel update just   
   about every week.
