action may require restart

This command looks at the system for signs that a restart is needed. If it seems that a restart is needed, the action completion status will be set to Pending Restart until a restart occurs.

If the optional name argument is given and a restart is needed, then the client will mark name as needing a restart. The pending restart inspector can then be used to see which actions require a restart.
