Reboot message fonctionality

[doug]

You can send a message to users that will pop up on their screens:

notify-users-of-upcoming-reboot-or-other-patching-activity
inform-users-before-applying-updates-and-rebooting

However, the popup message will not offer an option to reboot directly from the popup. The user would have to use the normal reboot method for the OS. The user will also be able to close the message.

One option would be that you can continue to pop the notification to the end user in a loop, at your desired time interval, until they perform the reboot. To do that you would create a job queue something like this:

1. label:YourCustomNameGoesHere
2. Send custom message to end user
3. Wait 60 minutes
4. If ‘Get pending reboot status’ returns TRUE, goto label:YourCustomNameGoesHere
