restart pve-manager - restart containers

pve-manager is not a 'real' service but a systemd-target which is used to start and stop the guests, so restarting it will restart the guests

what are you trying to achieve? the api daemons are 'pveproxy' and 'pvedaemon'
 
I want to update all servers, when I try update I see next list for update:
Code:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  pve-kernel-4.4.95-1-pve

Do you want to continue? [Y/n] q^C
Before continue I check on other server different situations, and I found this behavior - when restart pve-manager, restart containers.
I would prefer that the update does not automatically reload the working containers.

the update does not restart containers, since pve-manager (the systemd service) is not restarted on upgrades, only pvedaemon and pveproxy (the two services providing the API) are. exactly because of this confusion, pve-manager (again, the service ;)) was renamed to pve-guests (pve-manager is still an alias for now, but might be removed in 6.x)
