    I noticed that batchpatch doesn’t wait for a host to go offline or detect it going offline/online properly unless it was rebooted by batchpatch itself (eg reboot, force always). I am trying to run a job queue and have a batch script that I run with a reboot command in it. Is this intended behavior?

    I would suggest you review the following posting that explains the limitations to be aware of with the various ‘special items’ in the BatchPatch job queue, such as…

    ‘Wait for host to be detected online’

    ‘Wait for host to go offline and come back online’

    I’m not quite sure what you are actually attempting or what is actually occurring, but the method of reboot would not have an impact on how either of the above-mentioned special items works. They will always work the same, but this does not mean that they will provide you with the desired results in every case. See the following link for more info:
