/etc/sysconfig/yast2:PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT you might want to set to "restart".

/etc/sysconfig/yast2 also includes a list of valid settings.

You might manipulate the setting with the YaST sysconfig editor or any text editor.

Yes, that solved it. Thanks Lars. Why not a settings/options button in yast? -- If stupidity got us into this mess, then why can't it get us out? - Will Rogers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

In the file /etc/sysconfig/yast2, I don't find anything beginning with "PKGRMGR*". How does one access that setting?

If it isn't there in your config file then simply add it at the end of the yast2 to look like this: ## Type: list(close,restart,summary) ## Default: "close" # Set the default behavior of the package manager when package installation has finished. # Possible actions are: # close - just finish the package manager # restart - go back to the package manager, install/remove more packages # summary - display an installation summary dialog, there user can decide whether to finish or restart # The summary dialog is always displayed when an installation error has occured.

Another big thanks! John

And here, too. But my copy on 11.1 had no such entry; I had to add it, so it doesn't have all the nice explanations the others have. John Perry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well for you, and any other 11 users here is stuff needed at the bottom of /etc/sysconfig/yast2
