To further enhance the yum check, report back the number of process that have a dependency on an updated package, so it is more visible why the reboot is required. Make it an optional check as it could be quite lengthy and make it cover all the various flavours of centos/rhel.

This should be achievable using "needs-restarting" but will vary on it's use between OS flavour.
