swinstall option to check reboot

[Jayan Nair]

Hi
Is there any option with swinstall or with any other command to verify a software/patch need reboot.
While downloading will get this information, but the sw/patch what we already have no docs.

Check with swlist for flag:
is_reboot=true

regards,
ivan

Hi,

First resource you need to look into is sw/patch readme doc. Since you don't have that you can verify it by using preview mode of installation and see it's description.

As specified by Ivan you can use -a is_reboot option along with swlist command.

Be aware that if any of dependencies need reboot then system will reboot.
