Yep - if any version of yum is running, no other will. At work, I do *not* have yum-updatesd turned up - I want to control when and what. Certainly, I don't want to update, say, firefox while folks are using it on their desktops. And some managers are rather picky as to what servers get updated, and when, esp. their production boxes. So, it's tedious, but I have control - yum runs when I run it, and not otherwise.
Ahh as long as yum-updated is running as a service regular yum update will not run! IE, you killed the yum-updatesd service and that is why yum update ran.
So is there a way to configure yum and/or yum-updatesd so that I get a GUI notice that updates are available, but then run the actual update when I want from the CLI?
Run 'yum check-update' as a cron job.
