The init script idea works great. I made a few minor tweaks and here is the end results (tested numerous times now ... ) <script> <filename>reboot.sh</filename> <interpreter>shell</interpreter> <source><![CDATA[ #----- REBOOT AFTER WE REACHED THE L3 PROCESS ---- echo ' #!/bin/bash { while true ; do if who -d | grep -q "id=l3" ; then echo "INFO: Starting reboot " sleep 2 shutdown -Fr now & # rm /tmp/autorestart wait else echo "INFO: Waiting for init to reach l3: state to initate reboot" sleep 15 fi done } ' > /tmp/autorestart chmod +x /tmp/autorestart nohup /tmp/autorestart & ]]> </source> </script> Thanks again !!

Simple example of a ayast init script logic with reboot save :-) ( not tested !) $ cat cfg_int.scr #----- REBOOT AFTER WE REACHED THE L5 PROCESS ----# echo ' #!/bin/bash { while true ; do if who -d | grep -q "id=l5" ; then echo "INFO: Starting reboot " sleep 2 shutdown -Fr & # rm /tmp/autorestart wait else echo "INFO: Waiting for init to reach l5: state to initate reboot" sleep 15 fi done } ' > /tmp/autorestart chmod +x /tmp/autorestart nohup /tmp/autorestart & # More init script logic ...... -----Original -----Original Message----- From: Swartz, Patrick H [mailto:Patrick.Swartz@firstdata.com] Sent: Monday, May 23, 2011 7:58 PM To: opensuse-autoinstall@opensuse.org Subject: [opensuse-autoinstall] post-install reboot Hi All, We are finally close to our final autoyast.xml configuration, but have a question about forcing one more reboot. One of the last scripts we run is to setup the atomic update partition and cloning, after we do this we need the system to reboot. I have tried just adding a reboot to this script, but that doesn't work - guessing because the script is never "complete" and the system continues to reboot.
