Should I restart AIX system or not?

Very often my customers call me and ask that they have installed an AIX LPP or device drvers but they are not sure whether they require to reboot the system to complete the installation.

bos.adt.libm 05.02.0000.0000 1 N U en_US ...

The "N" character means no reboot is required. On the other hand, if the line has a "b" character, a reboot is necessary. An example of such a line would be

bos.mp64 05.02.0000.0000 1 b B en_US .....
