Managing reboots in Patch Management

Hi all:

I need to manage the reboots when installing several packages (either from software installations or from patches) so that if a client installs (for example) five packages requiring to reboot, it gets only one reboot when the installation has finished, instead of rebooting after each package has finished installing.

I have been looking in Connect, but none of the articles I have looked at has helped me in getting a clue for getting this challenge done.

I would really appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks:
