  • we need to limit the number of ways how to do reboot in the test, therefore we would like to gather examples of tests with reboot, i.e. the sequence of beakerlib commands and their embedding to conditions, like:

    if [ "$REBOOTCOUNT" -eq 0 ]; then
  rlPhaseStartSetup 'first phase'
  rlPhaseEnd
  reboot; #actual reboot
else
  rlPhaseStartSetup 'second phase'
  rlPhaseEnd
fi

    Please put your templates into this pad
