I am getting /tmp/yum_save_tx.2017-12..... files in /tmp one every hour. What process is making these files ??? I have stopped PackageKit so its not running.
I am running CentOS 7.4. With GNOME desktop. Thanks

Probably yum-cron - the default setup for that runs yum through cron hourly and daily.
P.
Ok so I looked for yum in cron and did not find it.
cd /etc # grep yum cron*
grep: cron.d: Is a directory grep: cron.daily: Is a directory grep: cron.hourly: Is a directory grep: cron.monthly: Is a directory grep: cron.weekly: Is a directory
# grep yum cron*/*
and the files: ls -lR cron.* -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 5 Jan 25 2016 cron.allow -rw------- 1 root root 0 Aug 3 11:33 cron.deny
cron.d: total 16 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 128 Aug 3 11:33 0hourly -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 108 Jun 13 10:08 raid-check -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 459 Jun 24 2015 sa-update -rw------- 1 root root 235 Aug 3 05:30 sysstat
cron.daily: total 12 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 2239 Jun 9 2014 certwatch -rwx------ 1 root root 219 Aug 1 21:12 logrotate -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 618 Mar 17 2014 man-db.cron
cron.hourly: total 4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 392 Aug 3 11:33 0anacron
cron.monthly: total 0
cron.weekly: total 0
Thoughts? Thanks,
Jerry

Remember that it could be in the original crontabs located in /var/spool/cron

You might also look in /var/log/cron to see what's firing off hourly.
Even though PackageKit was not running - I went ahead and removed that package and it has stopped.
