Pre_Transaction

Trigger an event before auto-patcher runs any upgrades or maintenance.

• Run a custom script:
  pre_transaction='$(./home/user/custom.sh')

• Run a command directly:
  pre_transaction=$(systemctl stop someunit.service anotherunit.service)

Post_Transaction

Trigger an event after auto-patcher runs an upgrade but before a reboot is scheduled.

  post_transaction='$(./home/user/custom.sh')

• Run a command directly:
  post_transaction=$(systemctl start someunit.service anotherunit.service)

Disable_Reboot

Disables reboots even if they are needed. Can be set to 'true' or 'false':

• Schedules a reboot one minute after completion:
  reboot_time=$(date --date='1 minute' +%H:%M)

• Set a spesific time for a reboot to occur if it is needed:
  reboot_time='00:00'
