Hi i peformed a kernel update on my server and on my whm i get a yellow message that i must restart yo apply kernel and software updates. My question is: that kernel update has been updated server software too? (Like apache, PHP and MySQL)

  Hello, Only kernel updates require a reboot, everything else like Apache, MySQL, Exim, etc, etc, just requires a restart of the actual service.

  No a restart will not trigger other server updates, if you want to run those updates do it from WHM or SSH: Upgrade to Latest Version - Version 68 Documentation - cPanel Documentation

  Thank you @Jcats that is correct you restart to boot into the new kernel and the software updates on their own shouldn't require a reboot. If you confirm that you are using the most up to date kernel and you're still seeing that message please feel free to open a ticket with us using the link in my signature so that we can look into the issue further. If you do open a ticket please update this ticket with the number so that we can track the ticket's progress as well. Thank you!
