postinstall esxupdate not working

[tdubb123]

I got these commands in my post install script but esxupdate is not updating the server

vimsh -n -e /hostsvc/maintenance_mode_enter

esxupdate check --bundle http://1x.x.x.x/esx41/patches/ESXi410-201010001.zip

esxupdate update --bundle http://x.x.x.x/esx41/patches/ESXi410-201010001.zip

esxupdate check --bundle http://x.x.x.x/esx41/patches/ESXi410-201011001.zip

esxupdate update --bundle http://x.x.x.x/esx41/patches/ESXi410-201011001.zip

vimsh -n -e /hostsvc/maintenance_mode_exit

shutdown -r now

any idea on this?

#vim-cmd /hostsvc/maintenance_mode_enter

#esxupdate check --bundle http://x.x.x.x/esx41/patches/ESXi410-201010001.zip

#esxupdate update --bundle http://x.x.x.x/esx41/patches/ESXi410-201010001.zip

#esxupdate check --bundle http://x.x.x.x/esx41/patches/ESXi410-201011001.zip

#esxupdate update --bundle http://x.x.x.x/esx41/patches/ESXi410-201011001.zip

#vim-cmd /hostsvc/maintenance_mode_exit

It keeps going in a loop reboots but does not get patched

What happens with a manual run of the command sequence in a shell script.

its runs just fine.

when i put it in my post_install script it keeps rebooting and never gers patched.

I think this problem has been solved from this thread

I am still puzzled on what exactly caused the loop reboot from esxupdates
