no reason to reboot except of course when I tried using the cgminer stop/start or restart commands they failed to work and generated an error so the only option was to reboot. which funnily enough worked. and I understand why
of course actually what I should have done was
1 cd /etc/init.d
2 cgminer stop
3 cd /usr/bin
4 mv cgminer cgminer.bak
5 wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s3/4.6.0-140908/cgminer
6 chmod +x cgminer
7 cd /etc/init.d
8 cgminer start
or do it in 5 steps
1. cd /usr/bin
2. mv cgminer cgminer.bak
3. wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s3/4.6.0-140908/cgminer
4. chmod +x cgminer
5. Reboot

Thanks to all who contributed to above. Reminds me of my old UNIX days. Anyway my current cgminer is V3.12.0-1 and they're all working fine. Are the security issues bad enough to warrant upgrade or why should I install newer version?
Your mining can be hijacked midstream and redirected to another pool and you'd not know it. You decide if that's critical or not.

Tried first method got a bus error in step 2. Tried second method and everything looked good, but when I rebooted still showing cgminer is V3.12.0-1 under System -> Software. Am I looking at wrong place for version or doing something wrong
