Here is how I have it configured for critical systems. Works great, Centos 5.2, x86. Email notices can get annoying if you're not around a terminal for several hours/days, as it continues to notify you each hour it checks and finds an update. [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 = email # should we listen via dbus to give out update information/check for # new updates dbus_listener = yes # automatically install updates do_update = no # automatically download updates do_download = no # automatically download deps of updates do_download_deps = no # who to notify email_to = root at localhost email_from = yum at localhost Jeremiah
