You are missing the point. We don't want a smooth workaround about all steps and stones, but a solid procedure:

"My server needs to continue running". Until I decide to reboot, not YaST.

Why don't you, as the admin of that server, not schedule the updates with kernels in a specific way?

That would only be a workaround about a lacking function.

We know that replacing the kernel requires reboot, yast says so, zypper says so and it's nothing new (just as you also have to reboot your system when the hardware vendor told you to update the bios..).

No, it is not new. But YaST's hint to reboot is not more than a "sorry, I have destroyed your running kernel - you can not use your modules any longer".

I would never have a cron job taking care of updates without my approval. And yes, we do have more than one server here. And no: they are not outdated.

No match here why you got the idea to tell us that here.
