 For example, imagine you were running a _mysql_ container and a _wordpress_ container which had been linked to the _mysql_ container. If watchtower were to detect that the _mysql_ container required an update, it would first shut down the linked _wordpress_ container followed by the _mysql_ container. When restarting the containers it would handle _mysql_ first and then _wordpress_ to ensure that the link continued to work.
