Voila, case solved. The reason why the Jumpstart program on the new client is not automatically rebooting this client after the post-install script (as it is intended to do in normal behaviour), is because this post-install script generated some errors from its internal commands. Even when such failing commands do not stop the post-install script to complete the rest of the instructions in it, and at the end it even does an "exit 0" ! Apparently the Jumpstart program doesn't like those error conditions, or maybe it is a foreseen behaviour, but when I made sure the post-install script did run smoothly without any errors, the reboot happened just fine as planned. Some people mentioned that the Jumpstart server does not do a reboot intentionally, and explicit instructions would be required in -say- the postinstall script to make a reboot happen. So, that's not the case. I have not double-check the documentation about the Jumpstart process, but I am sure I have read it somewhere that this reboot happens automatically at the end of the Jumpstart. Thanks to Andrew Hay, Jonathan V Hays, Darren Dunham, Zaigui Wang for their suggestions.

Where do I start looking for any reason ?
