Thanks!

???  I always shut down all running daemons when I'm about to update my 
system - seems like standard operating procedure to me:  1) I'd expect 
that it would be completely unpredictable what would happen if you 
updated/replaced an application's files while it was running, 2) there's 
often config file changes that occur; again, I don't want to try to 
update or resolve those while an application is running.
