A Unix system needs a reboot only when a new kernel image needs to be loaded. Reasons for wanting to load a new kernel image would be:

- loading a new version of the kernel itself (after patching)

- clearing up some NFS-troubles which can't be resolved

- clearing the process table to get rid of zombies and the like

and some other reasons. You do NOT need to reboot to change your environment, create a new network interface, add a user and some similar reasons why a certain popular graphical PC-virus needs to be rebooted.

In other words the answer is "no".

What's the difference with "APPLIED" and "COMMITED" when I lslpp the software?

Thanks

See the man-page of installp.

Basically the difference is that in APPLIED state save copies of the files overwritten during install are stored whereas during the transition from APPLIED to COMMIT these save copies are being deleted. Hence, after COMMITting the software it is still possible to deinstall it, but not possible to get the last state before the install back.
