###### Update default 'changeme' password on Splunk Forwarders (primary installations before 7.1.0)

Forwarders deployed before version 7.1.0 didn't require the admin password be changed upon installation. Starting at 7.1.0, the forwarders required either a user-seed file or manual input of the password during first-time run. While the REST API of the forwarder is not configured to allow POST requests until the password is changed on versions prior to 7.1.0, changing the password is still recommended.

Because most of these use-cases require the forwarders be restarted, an additional script has been introduced that takes the outcome of each of the scripts used and determines if a restart is required. Each script is designed to create an empty file that the restart script uses to determine if a restart is necessary. If the restart script finds one of the files used to trigger a restart, it removes them and should keep the system clean of unnecessary files.
