Code: 
freebsd-version -r : 13.1-RELEASE-p3
freebsd-version    : 13.1-RELEASE-p5

From the running headless OS, what command line tool do you run that confirms that kernel p3 is the correct kernel for p5?
 
None. If you really don't trust freebsd-update(8), read the errata notices and security advisories, they will tell whether the kernel is affected.

But then, in the upgrade process, the kernel is updated first. I really don't see any reason not to trust freebsd-update(8). freebsd-version is enough to verify a correct update.
 
How did you decide to defend freebsd-update on the basis of trust?

I'll try another way. What flags the need for a reboot without human reading?
 
If you're too lazy to read, just reboot. ?‍♂️
(yes, checking freebsd-version -k against freebsd-version -r involves, uhm, reading...)
 
You can have a running-kernel X and boot-kernel X.
Then you perform freebsd-update , the running-kernel will still be X but the boot-kernel will be Y.
After reboot the running-kernel & boot-kernel will be Y.
 
p4 and p5 didn't involve the kernel, so it hasn't been updated.
 
zirias@ managed the right answer on the second attempt. A pity about his arrogance.
 
When the system is up to date it takes me this amount of seconds (/usr/bin/time) to validate there is nothing new:

Code: 
#Raspberry Pi 3B (very slow IO)
/usr/bin/time /usr/local/bin/update.sh
        1.54 real         0.67 user         0.27 sys

That means check for freebsd-update and pkg (pkg is naturally fast here).

Of course, when there are updates available it all takes the regular times (and that is when the running/installed kernel comparison becomes useful to me because my script will now just reboot if it sees that change).
 
Different persons on this forum have different levels of knowledge.
When you have higher knowledge sometimes we can forget once we had lower knowledge and understood things wrong (which is normal) (afterwards there is an aha moment, now i understand)

Nothing to do with knowledge or understanding, simply didn't see what I was looking for so I asked.
 
As I was saying...

        1.54 real         0.67 user         0.27 sys

That means check for freebsd-update (freebsd-update-probe) and pkg (pkg is naturally fast here).

Of course, when there are updates available it all takes the regular times (and that is when the running/installed kernel comparison becomes useful to me because my script will now just reboot if it sees that change).
 
First he asks:"What to do without reading?"
Answer:"If you don't want to read..."
Him again:"You're arrogant."

This guy suffers from a complete mismatch of self- and external perception.
He simply does not realize how he acts.

He hits others - having a reasonable expert's conversation, trying to help him - directly in the face without any reason and no forewarning
and then most aggressively repells any reaction he provocated himself.

I start to believe he's on drugs (cocaine?), but anyway really needs professional help.

Stop polluting a simple thread with your banality.

A human isn't present to do the reading... in fact, if you had read on you would have realised. But you're a troll account which I have blocked (I think you're the only one I blocked) - I just got curious this time. An interesting amount of defamation in your post but we all know that the moderators are selectively blind.

SirDice I think Profighost must be an alt account of yours given you sanction such content and instead move to threaten the recipient of defamation... strange behaviour.
