Yes, we run it on all clients. I can't post the whole app, but I'd be happy to post some code snippets that will give a decent idea of how to make your own.

I have coded a small app that runs on client machines on the hour every hour and checks certain variables to see if a machine requires a reboot. If it does, the user is alerted via popup of the reason for the reboot. We use labtech as our RMM and while it does have a built in popup system for alerting users of reboots, it doesn't cover all the cases in which we'd like to alert the user of a required reboot. We also wanted to consolidate the reboot requests into one branded popup, so things like feature updates, AV updates, if we as administrators request a reboot, etc would all trigger the same popup with reasons a reboot is required. It's a WPF app written in C# so anything that can be checked like a file, reg flag, or WMI check would be useful. We've started taking on clients recently that are already using ESET and have no reason to change. When it was just a couple of clients using ESET, I wasn't too worried about detecting the reboots. Now the ESET user base is increasing, I'd like to get it included.

Hi, I work for an MSP and need a way of programmatically checking if a device needs a reboot. For the purposes of this question, assume I only have admin access to the machine itself, not any management consoles or web consoles, etc. As an example, Avast have a Reboot.txt file that appears in it's program files folder when a reboot is needed. I can use this file's presence to detect that the machine needs a reboot. I was hoping ESET would have something similar. I've set up a VM with an install of the trial, but it installed and didn't need a reboot to complete. I did try and post this in the general chat but for some reason there was no option to post in that subforum. Thanks in advance.
