Hi All, I am running CentOS5 . Yum pkg was installed by deault fresh installation. pls see below for installed yum pkgs. [root at mailgw ~]# rpm -qa |grep yum yum-updatesd-3.0.5-1.el5.centos.2 yum-3.0.5-1.el5.centos.2 later, I installed below pkg for protection. yum-protectbase-1.0.4-2.el5.centos Now, everything works. But, in this vershion of yum, It has no crontab running. It has a file called /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf instaed. in this yum-updatesd.conf file, by default, below 3 lines were set to no # automatically install updates do_update = no # automatically download updates do_download = no # automatically download deps of updates do_download_deps = no I changed it to yes. Pls see below for my yum-updatesd.conf file. [root at mailgw ~]# cat /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf [main] # how often to check for new updates (in seconds) run_interval = 3600 # how often to allow checking on request (in seconds) updaterefresh = 600 # how to send notifications (valid: dbus, email, syslog) emit_via = dbus # should we listen via dbus to give out update information/check for # new updates dbus_listener = yes # automatically install updates do_update = yes # automatically download updates do_download = yes # automatically download deps of updates do_download_deps = yes Then, I noticed it runs all the time. Is it proper? or is there any other way to run yum. Pls note that I need to download and install all the upfdates automaticallyas I have installed yum-protectbase. Help needed. -- Thank you Indunil Jayasooriya -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
