Small addition request.... does system need reboot

[Graham Williams]

A new command request!

I am continually forgetting and having to search for the file that records whether the system needs a reboot (of course, not I've written this up I'll remember forever :-).

$ cat /var/run/reboot-required

If the file is there then its contents is:

*** System restart required ***

and I know it needs a reboot. In addition, /var/run/reboot-required.pkgs lists the packages that necessitate the reboot.

This is handled by the update-notifier-common package that is installed by default on Ubuntu (not sure about Debian).

Would be great to have

$ wajig reboot-required
*** System restart required ***

linux-image-3.13.0-37-generic
dbus

$ wajig reboot-required

No reboot required at this time.

Sounds like a why-not sort of thing. I suppose the command would just
fail if update-notifier was not installed, before even checking if the
file exists?

[Graham Williams]

Yes I think so - with a message to that effect.
