Schedule patch then reboot -- we are using RHSat 5.6.0

Latest response

If I schedule errata updates within the window of our client check-in and also schedule a reboot for the same time window, is RHSat smart enough to do them in the right order? Is there a priority to these events that might ensure patching before rebooting?

RHSat 5.6.0

Couple of ideas : Solution 1) Upgrade to Satellite 5.7 and make use of Action Chains https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1554493

Solution 2) depending on how you schedule errata application you could issue a remote execution job such as "yum -y update && shutdown -r now' or whatever to ensure that the updates get applied first then the reboot.

Thanks for your advice. I will pursue solution 1.
