Option to automatically reboot Ubuntu for security updates
-
Yep. For those cases it shouldn't be too bad: The fixed timeslots/dates can be communicated/planned accordingly and if it's on demand and no admin is available, the users can get told that they should be worried only if downtime is >1h or something like that. That's at least better than no patched server and in worst case coming home and finding a disaster

Ideally we soon can enable ubuntu livepatch by default, then this should go away. Until that it looks like we have some blocking process or so during reboot. We have gotten various reports now that reboots are slow and I also saw that on one of our company Cloudrons yesterday. Unfortunately we are not sure what happens yet.
@nebulon just for information - livepatch doesn't mean you don't have to reboot - it just lets you postpone that moment as convenient.
For
sync- a good practice on old good *nix is to issuesynctwice before reboot - to make sure the buffers dumped for sure.On the reboot automation using third-party apps - it's doable; everything is, but why, if you can just add it inside of the system?
