when updating a system with the newest packages using the desktop

if a package is upgraded that requires a reboot to take effect,
there is a little icon that shows up on the upper panel to let me know
i need to reboot.
on a server system, if i do a "sudo apt-get upgrade" or "sudo aptitude upgrade"
is there anyway to know i need a reboot?
is there a file that is flagged?
or does the upgrade process return something that i can catch using grep?
or better still is there a way to tell apt-get or aptitude to reboot the system
after an upgrade when necessary?
im not sure exactly where or what lets u know that you need a reboot,
however your only really going to need to reboot on a server when there is a
new kernel installed and your better off scheduling the downtime
manually when you see a new kernel in the updates to minimise the impact
+ in the event that the new kernel doesnt boot, resolve the issues.
rather than springing the reboot on you at any time and having the concequences
that follow.
