When resetting a pending reboot, the computer must be online for command to function.
If the computer is WIndows: The plugin will remove the regestry entries causing the reboot pebing notice and then will reset the Automat flag for pending reboots.
If the computer is Linux: The plugin will remove /var/run/reboot-required and /var/run/reboot-required.pkgs files from computer and reset the Automat flag for pending reboots. If the Linux system is a YUM enabled computer then we will also attempt a "yum-complete-transaction" to complete the clearing of pending reboots.
If the computer is Darwin: The plugin executes rm -f /Library/Updates/* and then softwareupdate --reset-ignored. Afterwards it resets the Automate pending reboot flag.
