The reboot command does not complete installations of patches that require a

9. If the Update Manager does not automatically start a new analysis, click the
Check for Updates button.
10. Select any patches that are listed by checking the boxes to the left of the patch
IDs.
11. Click the Install button.
Update Manager downloads and installs the patches.
12. If any of the patches requires a system restart, follow the instructions in Step 7.
If any patches are installed that require restart, Update Manager offers to restart
the system. Alternatively, you can use the shutdown command, as described in
