Situation

What is logged in zmd-messages.log for reboot actions for Patch bundles?

Resolution

When the dialog is presented to the end user:

If End User hit OK : Log shows 
"Rebooting System from Install"
This will reboot after a sleep of 5000 milleseconds

If the End user hit Cancel : nothing is logged, dialog is removed

If the End user hit Snooze : Log shows:
"Rebooting System from Other2"
This does not reboot immediately.  It looks for any ongoing snooze threads and joins them. 

When the snooze thread does the actual reboot, Log shows: 
 "Rebooting System from Reboot Snooze Thread"
It will reboot after a sleep of 5000 millesconds
