I have 2 -3 thousand servers and workstations that have to be patched at different intervals and rebooted after patching. The are in different VRFs behind firewalls. I have capsules in each VRF to interface with the Satellite and the client. I've created host collections to schedule the patching but there is no option to tell it to reboot after the patches have been applied. I don't want to have to install something on each system, like cron jobs or copy ssh keys.
Is there some way to tell the systems to reboot after patching? Satellite 5.7 had it, please tell me that hasn't been lost. That was a critical item for large companies. A command line solution, Hammer, or Ansible, that can be scripted would be ideal. WebUI will suffice.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
