Hi, I've been looking to have syspatch give me a quick indication of whether a reboot is likely to be required. As a quick and dirty check, I've just been treating "Were patches applied?" as the indicator.
The following diff will cause syspatch to exit when applying patches with status code 0 only if patches were actually applied. My biggest concern is that it does cause a change in behaviour, so perhaps this either needs making into an option or a different approach entirely? --- syspatch Sun Dec 6 14:11:12 2020 +++ syspatch Sun Dec 6 14:10:23 2020 @@ -323,3 +323,9 @@ if ((OPTIND == 1)); then _PATCH_APPLIED=true done fi + +if [ "$_PATCH_APPLIED" = "true" ]; then + exit 0 +else + exit 1 +fi Thanks, S
