Obviously a reboot is required when loading a new kernel....
But in general, does yum leave some breadcrumb clue that some other process can check? For example, maybe there's something in the package files that yum sees and creates a "/rebootRequired" file which is always deleted upon booting?
If not, I think that'd be a cool idea.. the file could be /rebootRequired.txt
and contain a plain text list of packages that caused the condition. :-)
Thanks
I cheat - I have this little icon that pops up on my top tool bar that tells me when I have updates. It changes when I tell it to install updates, showing me the progress. When it is all don, it vanishes, unless I need to do something like log out, or reboot...
