+Before installing the update, please note that you will need to restart all
+daemons that link with libpcre3 for the security fix to be used. Either
+reboot your machine after the upgrade, or make a list of processes that are
+using libpcre3, and restart them after the upgrade. To generate the list,
+run this command before you upgrade:
+
+lsof /usr/lib/libpcre.so.3
+
 To install the update, run this command as root:
 
 apt-get update && apt-get install libpcre3
 
-Note that after the upgrade, any daemons (exim, apache) that use libpcre3
-will remain running with the old vulnerable version. Either reboot your
-system after the upgrade or use the command "lsof /usr/lib/libpcre.so.3" to
-list programs using libpcre3, and manually restart them.
