How to restart systemd after a zypper update

English Install/Boot/Login

So, after a zypper software update, I manage to restart all the daemons that use deleted files by issuing “systemctl restart <daemon_name>.service”. However, the one service I cannot figure out how to restart is, I guess, the main systemd daemon:

~ # zypper ps
The following running processes use deleted files:

PID  | PPID | UID | Login | Command | Service | Files                           
-----+------+-----+-------+---------+---------+---------------------------------
1    | 0    | 0   | root  | systemd |         |

Is there a way to restart the main systemd daemon without a reboot?

systemctl daemon-reexec

That did it, thank-you!

I had been trying systemctl --daemon-reload without success. I guess I should have looked one item down in the man page to find the daemon-reexec command!
