Hi all,
I want to use UP2DATE to alert me to updates that are available but still use yum to make the update. Up2date alerts me and i see what is available and then update with yum. Up2date icon still shows updates are available. How can I get up2date to know that the system has been updated?
Thank you.

Since no one has responded can I assume (yeah, I know) that this is not possible?

If you update with yum, eventually the updates icon catches up and shows the new status. But it isn't instantaneous. It can take a while. I'm not sure how often the up2date system polls.

Piqued my curiosity. "locate update" provided a lot of places to look. "man -k up2date" gave 2 that might be a good starting point?
