From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Description of problem: It would be great to see the web interface for RHN have some type of notification when viewing the systems on which need a reboot for kernel updates. This feature would be very useful when combined with the "auto updates" feature- if the machine has been updating itself, we don't want it to have to reboot itself, but rather inform admins of that status - "Needs rebooted". Maybe the "kernel version" line in the system details could be high-lighted __RED__ noting the kernel running is old, compared with the rpm version installed. I understand this might be annoying if customers were booting a custom kernel- but perhaps the rhnsd would be able to determine this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. load OS 2. update kernel/misc rpms via RHN 3. notice machine is up to date, running the old kernel version Actual Results: Sure, the machine is up to date, but only after a reboot. Expected Results: Perhaps a highlighted "kernel version" in system details, or a highlighted notice under the general systems tab would be super. Additional info:
