Fixed In Version: dnf-4.14.0-6.el9
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Add ability in DNF Automatic to automatically trigger a reboot after an upgrade. Users of DNF Automatic can now set their system to automatically reboot to apply upgrades. The `reboot` option supports three settings: ``never`` does not reboot the system (current behavior). ``when-changed`` triggers a reboot after any upgrade. ``when-needed`` triggers a reboot only when rebooting is necessary to apply changes, such as when systemd or the kernel is upgraded. The `reboot_command` option allows customizing the command used to reboot (default is `shutdown -r`).

Sale force case # 03303685

Customer has requested for enhanced feature 

currently dnf-automatic does not support an automatic reboot after applying upgrades. Please implement this.
There is a BZ for this already that is against fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1491190 please open one against rhel 8/9 and make a note of customer interest in this.

options I would like to have:
1) reboot on any changes
2) reboot when dnf needs-restarting suggests to reboot
3) do not reboot (current behaviour)

I've started work on this feature here: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/1879.
Comment 3 Evan Goode 2023-01-26 14:40:32 UTC 
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/1879 has been merged! See the docs for the `reboot` and `reboot_command` options in https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/blob/master/doc/automatic.rst.
Comment 5 peacepenguin 2023-02-24 19:30:12 UTC 
Looks like the needed feature has been merged to the repo, and docs too. Can we update this bug with an expected target version of arrival in RHEL, maybe/hopefully 9.2?
