Hi Guys :)

Is it possible to incorporate into production some indicator, if there will be a reboot necessary after upgrade, which will be visible _before_ clicking "Upgrade" button?

I think this will be very helpful for those system admins, which manages critical services, or important customers.
When no reboot is required, means no service will be disrupted during upgrade process (or the disruption is involved only with simple reloading services with duration of couple of seconds) and thus it can be performed at any time. Opposing this - upgrades with reboot requirements can be postponed until the lowest influence time range.

TYVMIA :)

Cheers!

Hi Martinezio,

good idea, I've added a issue for this on GitHub: https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/304

The confirmation dialog is not going away, but there will be a static message box above the upgrade table after clicking "click to check now".


Cheers,
Franco


Most of the code is already in the development package. If all goes well, this will appear in 15.7.8.
