From b0421cc964ce11c1e43da5ad2a8e31205539737c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Sent Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2024 18:28:13 -0500 Subject: services: admin: Improve use of unattended-upgrade reboot? field. MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This ensures the unattended upgrade job successfully reboots regardless of the value for services-to-restart. Previously the mcron service may be restarted which would halt script execution before the system rebooted. * gnu/services/admin.scm (unattended-upgrade-mcron-jobs): Do not restart services when reboot? is #t. * doc/guix.texi (Unattended Upgrades): Document it.
