Find all services using libssl to restart after an OpenSSL update
Ubuntu Restart Sshd
Is the restart of sshd needed? Linux distributions usually ship with a default configuration that allows public key authentication, so you usually don't even have to edit configuration to enable it, and so restarting is unnecessary. Even in the case that you had to do something with sshdconfig, you'd only have to restart it only once after editing that file, not for each edit. Setup SSH Passwordless Authentication. By default, SSH requires users to provide their passwords.
Since OpenSSH is developed by the OpenBSD group, OpenSSH is included in the base operating system, starting at OpenBSD release 2.6. So there's nothing to install or add to your system.

When you update OpenSSL, the software that currently has the ssl librariesloaded in memory do not automatically load the updated libraries. A full systemreboot resolves that problem, but sometimes that is not possible. This commandshows you all the software that has loaded the libraries, allowing you torestart only those services. If you don't restart or reload after an update, thesoftware might still be vulnerable to issues that the update fixed.

Make sure you have the lsof command installed. Your package manager probablyhas this package.
Using the following command you get a list of services currently using libssl:
On a Directadmin shared hosting server this is the output:
Not all the filenames are complete but you can fill those in. If you leave outthe last part of the command you can also see which specific library is in use:
Example output:
Here you can see some services using a different library, those still need arestart.
Update. Tzu sent me an email with his command to find all updated librariesand services using the old ones:
