Deployment fail after restarting the core device using bootstrap exit code

Question

During the deployment of the components one of the components requires the restart the core device(raspberrypi) so we're using the bootstrap exit 101 inside the component script  to accomplish that task but after the device restarted  the  deployment status is getting failed.  
  
We have tried the deployment without the restart option in that case the deployment is getting successfully completed.  
  
Below is the link to the logs files to the failure deployment : https://pastebin.com/vNCXvPwn   
  
Thanks,

Hi Madhav,  
  
Thanks for reporting this issue. There is a bug in all released versions of greengrass where the exit code 101 may not work when used in a bootstrap script to signal that the device should restart. Apparently it 'may' work depending on timing of when the loader script executes, but it is "mostly broken".  
  
We have already fixed this issue (link below) which will be released as part of 2.5. For all the released versions this will be fixed with the next patch version.
