Description Jeffrey Walton 2019-06-17 22:07:40 UTC 
I have a script that automatically installs packages. It is triggered by a systemd timer.

On Ubuntu I can check if a reboot is required by looking for /var/run/reboot-required. According to https://serverfault.com/q/122178 , I can check if a reboot is required using 'needs-restarting'. 'needs-restarting' is part of the yum-utils package.

needs-restarting produces the following when run from the command line:

    $ sudo needs-restarting

    Yum-utils package has been deprecated, use dnf instead.
    See 'man yum2dnf' for more information.

I have not been able to locate the equivalent command using dnf. I took a look at /usr/bin/needs-restarting, but it looks like it is doing more than a simple dnf command.

Comment 1 Jeffrey Walton 2019-06-17 22:08:18 UTC 
I did not make this part of the original report, but trying to run dnf-utils goes sideways:

$ sudo dnf install dnf-utils

Comment 2 Michal Domonkos 2019-09-03 11:17:02 UTC 
The needs-restarting utility is now available in Fedora.  The other issue described in Comment 1 is already tracked here (and most likely going to be closed anyway):
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1680221

That said, closing this one.
