Pending Restart for Linux

Hello,

On Linux, what is the criteria used by the BigFix client to identify a pending restart ?
This is documented for Windows but I can’t find any document for Linux.

Thanks,

More than likely it is merely because an action specified “action requires restart” within it.

I have this same question.

In Windows, it is a registry key. Where is it in Linux?

Long story short… I need to be able to clear the “pending restart” flag WITHOUT actually rebooting the system.
