When I have a single patching task that performs patching and pre and post reboots, the task result report shows patches that have been installed, including any pre or post reboots that occurred.
We have a need to schedule patching and reboots with 2 separate jobs, this is to control the time of the reboot. When the first task runs, patches are installed and the email report shows the result, on the second task we install the same patches, but this time we have pre and or post reboots, the report shows that no patches were installed, but does not indicate if any pre or post reboots occurred. This I believe is a bug, but apparently not...so I am asking that this but added as a feature request.
eg Single task for patch install with reboots
