When I run the application Software Updater and I install some updates which need a restart of my computer, it tells me that I need to restart.

But when running this command in Terminal:

sudo apt-get upgrade

It is not clear whether or not the packages which you have upgraded require a restart of the computer once they have finished upgrading. So I was wondering if and how you would check if any of the packages which you have upgraded need a restart of your computer?

I am running Ubuntu 14.10.

If a package wants you to reboot it creates the file /var/run/reboot-required.
