I have used CD for years, but only since my recent upgrades have i begun using one of its specific applets; "Logout". It is described thus; "This applet lets you manage the current session. You can either: shut down, restart, hibernate, suspend, log out, lock the screen, switch to another user, or program an automatic shutdown. It will also tell you if your system needs to be restarted."
I have noticed that this CD applet frequently tells me that i have to reboot, & these notifications always seem to occur in tandem with Update Manager having installed various/any package updates. One of the things i loved about Linux when i changed to it from Windows in 2014, was the freedom from all the constant Windows reboots needed after its frequent patches, bugfixes, & updates... in Mint 17.x i simply never had to do any comparable reboots, unless of course i'd updated the kernel or a graphics driver & wanted to begin using it immediately.
In contrast, in both Mint 18 & Maui, this damn CD applet is frequently flagging to me that a restart is needed, & it's driving me nuts. Is this because of Ubuntu 16.04? Is it because of systemd? Or maybe, it is simply a bug in that CD applet & in fact i do not really need all the reboots at all...?
Here's this morning's innocuous updates, as a result of which, the applet is again unhappy:
I'd love to hear your advice pls.
