Thanks for this Nicolas!  I never knew about this package or 
this command!

Many hidden gems in the repositories that I don't know about...

Incidentally, I ran it on my system and had a warning 
message.  Not a big deal:

$ sudo checkrestart
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfsd-fuse file system 
/run/user/1000/gvfs
      Output information may be incomplete.
...

So, it appears it is running lsof underneath...  I looked at 
it and indeed it is -- it's a Python script that's wrapped 
around lsof (and other commands).

Thank you for this and Attila's suggestion of lsof!
