pkgadd?

Hi all.
Is there an option to #pkgadd to test if package bundle you want to install requires a reboot?
#pkgadd -d "package bundle" an option like test or a dry run?

Suggestions, anyone? Smilie

Most of the time, pkgadd does not require a reboot, as far as I've tried..Smilie

All you have to do is look in the README file. It will say if a reboot is needed.
