Michael, I'm sorry I only now got to your post. I have a question here -- I assume the banner is there simply because the "system needs reboot" condition is based on the rhnServer.last_boot value, being compared to the package installation time. And until the server tells Spacewalk it has rebooted, Spacewalk assumes it has not. However, cannot the criteria for system needing reboot be amended by also looking at the system's actions, checking if there is a reboot.reboot action which was picked up after the package installation date / package installation action pickup? That way the feature would be purely server-based and work well even with old production clients, and the client parts would be an enhancement of the logic, not a mandatory part of the setup. -- Jan Pazdziora Principal Software Engineer, Satellite Engineering, Red Hat _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-devel mailing list Spacewalk-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-devel
