&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> No, that is a bad idea, because you should not update a program while it is 
</I>&gt;<i> running (some won't care, others may have strange problems as some files 
</I>&gt;<i> they rely on have changed, or even corrupt what the user was working on), so 
</I>&gt;<i> the user must be aware of what is being upgraded so he can eventually 
</I>&gt;<i> stopped the concerned program.
</I>&gt;<i> Or if he is working on something important he may prefer to delay the update 
</I>&gt;<i> when his work is finished.
</I>&gt;<i> And even if none of the programs to be upgraded are in use at the moment, he 
</I>&gt;<i> may prefer do delay the update to avoid an IO-intensive task if he is 
</I>&gt;<i> working on something that requires all the resources of his computer.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>AFAIK most needed libraries and other files are loaded into memory, so if you update system
with bugfix or security update it shouldn' affect much - that's the point of those updates,
they shouldn't change the way how system works.
