When I do an update in OSX that requires a restart, is there a way to just restart the "things" that it updated without restarting the whole computer?

When it's done updating you can force quit software update and you won't have to restart. I don't think the update with take affect until you restart though, but I wouldn't recommend doing this, why not just restart?

I know you can just force quit it, but I don't wanna restart, I use my Mac as a server. But I also want the update to take affect. And now that Mac OS is Unix, I figured that it didn't "have" to be restarted after an update just like Linux doesn't have to.

Well, hit ps -e, figure out which (if any) components it updated, and kill -9 them.
However, I heard somewhere that OS X does some extra updating while booting after your restart (now that files aren't busy), so you might not have the full effect.

that is odd that you must restart for anything other than a kernel update. You might be able to go down to runlevel 3 then come back up to 5... but then the webserver would still be down for a couple seconds anyway

Remember, there's a non-UNIX layer to OS X, as well.

but can you still go to different runlevels?
Can you at least restart the display stuff, depending on the upgrade that might be what just needs restarted.
