Hello all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am running Spacewalk 1.6 on a CentOS 6.2 system. I have about 70 systems registered to this server and most of them are CentOS 6.x clients with a few SLES 11.x. I am currently using the CentOS errata script from <a href="http://www.bioss.ac.uk/people/davidn/spacewalk-stuff/">http://www.bioss.ac.uk/people/davidn/spacewalk-stuff/</a>
and it is working almost flawlessly.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have a quick question though.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there an easy way to find out if an errata requires a system reboot?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If yes, can anyone here explain how this is done or refer to any documentation on this? (I stumbled across this <a href="https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-devel/2012-April/msg00061.html">https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-devel/2012-April/msg00061.html</a>,
but I don't know where the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre; ">need_reboot flag is in the errata)</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">If no, if I use the Spacewalk API to schedule errata (system.scheduleApplyErrata) to be applied to a system, and schedule a "system.<font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">scheduleReboot", will the
order of these events remain the same and the reboot be performed after all the errata are applied?</font></font></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Prakash</div>
