Yes, that appears OK to me. After running the command, check the date stamp on the /boot file in the root directory.

But ... You should put contingency plans in place, now, before you attempt a reboot. At this moment, that computer will not reboot. This is not an emergency at this moment, because the computer is running. But ....

What would you do if something happened the would cause a reboot, such a power loss? Or, if my guidance is incorrect?

Plan for it now, before you touch this platform remotely. Make arrangements to have someone available at that remote facility, who is capable of downloading and preparing install media from the Internet, and to be standing by in the event your reboot fails.
