    Voila, case solved.

    The reason why the Jumpstart program on the new client is not automatically
    rebooting this client after the post-install script (as it is intended to do
    in normal behaviour), is because this post-install script generated some
    errors from its internal commands. Even when such failing commands do not
    stop the post-install script to complete the rest of the instructions in it,
    and at the end it even does an "exit 0" !

    Apparently the Jumpstart program doesn't like those error conditions, or
    maybe it is a foreseen behaviour, but when I made sure the post-install
    script did run smoothly without any errors, the reboot happened just fine as
    planned.

    Some people mentioned that the Jumpstart server does not do a reboot
    intentionally, and explicit instructions would be required in -say- the
    postinstall script to make a reboot happen. So, that's not the case. I have
    not double-check the documentation about the Jumpstart process, but I am
    sure I have read it somewhere that this reboot happens automatically at the
    end of the Jumpstart.

    Thanks to Andrew Hay, Jonathan V Hays, Darren Dunham, Zaigui Wang for their
    suggestions.

    Hi,
     
    no reason why (sure, otherwise I wouldn't post here) but my Jumpstart server
    does not automatically reboot a new client after its installation completed.
     
    Where do I start looking for any reason ?
     
    TIA
     
    Rob
