Operating Systems AIX how to pre-determine if a reboot is required? Post 75244 by A Stewart on Thursday 16th of June 2005 10:20:23 AM

this command does NOT work from the beginning ...
yes, you'll build a new .toc file

however, if you grep for the IY ... you won't show any specific b or B for that IY.

we need a "perfect solution" that can tell us ahead of time without installing the fix into the system. of course when you do it manually, the system will inform us to reboot -- this is not the desired approach.

IYXXXXX ... what command or work around will allow us to know if this needs a reboot to take effect?

hope this clarifies the question? thanks!
