      Once the following tailing lines are logged at the end of the log file, the appliance automatically reboots in 15 seconds:
      [
      date-timestamp
      ] # set -o pipefail; /usr/bin/systemd-run --on-active=15 /usr/sbin/reboot 2>&1 | /usr/bin/gawk '{ print strftime("[%Y-%m-%d %T %Z]"), $0 }' | tee -a /var/log/upgrade.log 1>&2 [
