Hello, all.

I have operated centos 4.x and 5.x system.

for 4.x system, I auto update using yum and for 5.x system, using yum-cron.

but I can't find any yum-cron package (i386) like below.

# yum search yum-cron(at i686, centox 5.3)

Warning: No matches found for: yum-cron No Matches found

# yum search yum-cron(at x86_64, centos 5.3) ==================================================== Matched: yum-cron ===================================================== yum-cron.noarch : Files needed to run yum updates as a cron job

I don't know why the result was different?

Thanks in advance.

To the best of my knowledge, yum-cron is depricated and has been replaced with an update daemon of it's own.

yum-cron has a bit of history really.

But in a nutshell, do you need yumcron to do something that cant be done with yum-updatesd itself ? Make sure you look at the -o option before deciding :)
