How can I tell if my box has been automatically upgraded from 5.7 to 5.8 please?
# cat /etc/redhat-release
OK thanks for that. So it looks like I'm on 5.8 already.
[root@karsites ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.8 (Final)
Yupp! You're welcome.
I think you might be able to see it graphically on the "main" tab of System Monitor.
