Hi!
According to various online sources, packages are expected to create
the file `/var/run/reboot-required` if they wish that the system
reboots.
I've been running a cron job that checks for this file for 3 months now
and it has never seen it. And the system has upgraded its kernel (via a
script of mine) and is now running an outdated one, surely a case that
requires a reboot.
$ ls -l /var/run/|grep reboo
---------- 1 root root 0 Nov 26 07:50 crond.reboot
$ dpkg -l linux-image'*'|grep ^ii| awk '{print $2}'
linux-image-6.1.0-27-amd64
linux-image-6.1.0-30-amd64
linux-image-6.1.0-31-amd64
linux-image-amd64
$ uname -a
Linux xyz 6.1.0-27-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.115-1 (2024-11-01)
x86_64 GNU/Linux
So what's the matter?
Christian.
