KACE Product Support

Hopefully that subject line will get some attention. So here is my situation and then my question. I have patching set up to be pushed to the production machines once a week. The user is prompted for a reboot (if necessary) three times. That gives them the opportunity to clean up and save anything that they might be doing. After the third prompt is ignored then it's an automatic reboot. That's company policy and we can't get around that. Machines can't go X number of days without being patched. Now, I have a group of engineers that are in to some serious number crunching. They have programs with millions of lines of code and some of their stuff takes three and four days to run to a solution. One of their jobs was killed by a mandatory reboot.

Is KACE smart enough to detect a flag or an IF statement that says if unnamed process is running, then postpone due patches X amount of time? Can a smart label be set up within patching to do that? Does anyone have an example of a label or script that does something similar to that?

Thanks for the help.
