Prevent first boot reboot

MDS

Hello,

I need to disable automatic restart after imagr completed the workflows. I added the following key in config.plist but it doesn’t seem to effect.

<dict>
					<key>action</key>
					<string>restart</string>
					<key>type</key>
					<string>restart_action</string>
				</dict>
				<key>first_boot_reboot</key>
				<false/>

I am not sure where to place the first boot key so I added it somewhere after the workflow keys. Is there something I am missing here?

It would be interesting to check out the /var/log/install.log after that reboot. It should explain why it is rebooting.

Hi rperfitt,

I moved the key outside of the array as a separate block and now it’s working. The only thing that bothers me now is MDS rewrite config.plist whenever I make a change in the workflow so I have to add the key manually everytime. Maybe it would be nice to add an option for that on MDS.

Thanks.
