#9741 Add message to end of server install that service restart is happening
Closed: fixed by rcritten. Opened by rcritten.

Closed: fixed
Reopen Issue

Request for enhancement

The server installation takes a while and we gives users around most steps an idea of how long that step might take. Except for at the end.
After the client installation is complete there is a very noticeable pause, nearly a full minute in my testing, where there just a blinky cursor.
I think we should add "Restarting services" there.
I'd also like to add additional duration counters in case something ever goes sideways.

Going to look like this:

Configuring example.test as NIS domain.
Client configuration complete.
The ipa-client-install command was successful
Enabling and restarting the IPA service
==============================================================================
Setup complete

With the log containing
