If you see the
icon, it is highly recommended that you apply the updates. Refer to
the Section called Applying Updates for information on applying
updates.
If you have scheduled updates to be installed, you can watch
the applet icon to determine when updates are applied. The icon changes
to the
icon after the Errata Updates are applied.
If you apply a kernel update (or the kernel update is automatically
applied), the applet will display the
until the system is rebooted with the new kernel. If you click on the
applet, the Critical Information tab displays a
message stating that the kernel is installed but that the system must be
rebooted to use the new kernel.
