Finsihing my server set up.. Yum-updatesd This is on, via the chkconfig and seems to run a lot. TO DO: auto update YUM for the computer once a day. Files: /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf Extra: send a mail or add to log file This is the centos original file and my suggested changes. If anyone uses this, do you have something similar? [main] # how often to check for new updates (in seconds) run_interval = 3600 (gonna change to 86400 for 24 hours) # how often to allow checking on request (in seconds) updaterefresh = 600 (leave as is) # how to send notifications (valid: dbus, email, syslog) emit_via = dbus (change to email, defaults to root I believe) # should we listen via dbus to give out update information/check for # new updates dbus_listener = yes (assume no?) # automatically install updates do_update = no (change to yes) # automatically download updates do_download = no (change to yes) # automatically download deps of updates do_download_deps = no (change to yes) I am not sure about the dbus listener. The documentation, yum wiki, or the man pages were not telling me anything. Thanks
