Maybe this can (easily?) solve the issue that -lts kernels are always detected as outdated

How do I make it not output anything unless some services were found/restarted?

Sorry, I missed your comments. Now the hook is part of the package

I integrated the hook from @Thermi (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/needrestart#comment-873377 / works great btw.) into the PKGBUILD. If someone else is interested, here's the patch: https://pastebin.com/4yKAAaxx

@t-8ch...looks like i get the IOTDA (idiot of the day award). Going to delete my previous comment. Thanks!

I don't really see how this is specific to cups. It looks more like you still have the old service running after upgrading cups. That old service has indeed a new binary and needrestart tries to restart it but can't because the old service file is not there anymore.

@tedd (in /usr/bin) "ln -s rc-service service" does work. @t-8ch I have artix on my laptops, and restart/reboot more often, so don't use needrestart often. It may well be longer than I remember since it worked.

@ostroffjh needrestart decides switches between systemctl and service based on the existence of the /run/systemd/system directory. Maybe some recent update changed this existence and now you get the error. In general for this to ever have worked you would need either the service or systemctl commands available.

@ostroffjh If you make a symlink to rc-service named service does that fix the problem?
