Kernels are installed and not replaced. If the dnf conf permit it, old kernels are removed.
So this is not a simple way to understand if a reboot is required. If you want to use it in a script, maybe you can try to upgrade only kernel with a simple command: # dnf upgrade kernel\* If it returns something was installed you should reboot. If there are some other package required by kernel they are installed or upgraded. In DNF output the Instaling can appear even if a package is installed from dependencies but not present before, or even if you install a new package. Also, I can add that not only kernel may require a reboot. Imagine you have a service running (thare are a lot) and you upgrade it a lot of times... Maybe you never use new versions until restart the service or reboot the system. Regards Ogio
