add optional NEEDRESTART_CHECK to MOTD in 130.00beta01

- add NEEDRESTART_CHECK='n' variable support in SSH login's MOTD (message of the day). Disabled by default. When set to NEEDRESTART_CHECK='y' in the persistent config file /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc, when you log into server, it will run needs-restarting command only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday to check if any YUM updates require or recommend a server reboot and alert the user on SSH login. Not all YUM updates require server reboot Identify packages that will require a system reboot after an update - Red Hat Customer Portal
- run cmupdate command to update your local code for this update
- Example message on CentOS 7 when SSH login with NEEDRESTART_CHECK='y' set. Centmin Mod modifies the message to add additional commands to run before rebooting server to ensure you do not corrupt your MySQL data and to recommend you schedule a time for server reboot

Run this command & wait 180 seconds before rebooting server:
  mysqladmin flush-tables && sleep 180
