In a way. On my system you have to restart to run on the new software.
I have implemented a pseudo single user mode in init that will umount
the rootfs and then dump the new software into memory. Ths keeps you
from having to do a restart. However, this is not possible from remote
locations. You must be on serial console to do this. That is why
single user mode is not acceptable.
