RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

Customer is asking for an enhanced feature in RHEL 9 / RHEL 8 with following options,

1) reboot on any changes occurred 
2) reboot when dnf needs-restarting suggests to reboot
3) do not reboot (current behavior)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

dnf

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.

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.

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?

tests: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/ci-dnf-stack/pull/1210
