color:black'>I have a couple of CentOS 5.1 boxes, mostly i386, but a couple
x86_64, some real, some virtual.<br>
<br>
On all of them, I have yum-updatesd configured to emit via email to root. Here
is a sample yum-updatesd.conf from one of them:<br>
<br>
[main]<br>
# how often to check for new updates (in seconds)<br>
run_interval = 14400<br>
# how often to allow checking on request (in seconds)<br>
updaterefresh = 600<br>
<br>
# how to send notifications (valid: dbus, email, syslog)<br>
emit_via = email<br>
email_from = <a href="mailto:root@FQDN">root@FQDN</a> (the real server FQDN is
in the file)<br>
# should we listen via dbus to give out update information/check for<br>
# new updates<br>
dbus_listener = yes<br>
<br>
# automatically install updates<br>
do_update = no<br>
# automatically download updates<br>
do_download = no<br>
# automatically download deps of updates<br>
do_download_deps = no<br>
<br>
None of the servers notified me of the batch of updates that came out this weekend.
Running 'service yum-updatesd status' on each of them showed it as running, yet
a 'yum update' showed the available updates. I tried running yum-updatesd
manually on each, and after loading the plugins (installonlyn and priorities)
it appears to hang or pause but no messages were generated either on console,
/var/log/messages or email.<br>
<br>
Any idea what gives?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
