Unattended-Upgrades can also handle this by itself, it ships a /etc/kernel/postinst.d/unattended-upgrades hook that create a /var/run/reboot-required trigger; which tell UU to reboot the computer after updates includiong a kernel are done. (1) This was a bit harsh to reboot with people logged now, so now UU can also check for active users. (2) (1) & (2) are disabled by default; there's also "Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot-Time", for school & offices. Greets, Alexandre
