Hi All :) What is the best way to get a list of available security updates? I found several commands for that: 1) yum updateinfo list updates -q --security 2) yum list-security --security -q 3) yum --security check-update -q Based on the sample output below I think I can use any of the three with some awk to get a list of packages. yum updateinfo list updates -q --security FEDORA-EPEL-2014-0525 security libyaml-0.1.5-1.el6.x86_64 FEDORA-EPEL-2014-0990 security libyaml-0.1.6-1.el6.x86_64 yum list-security --security -q FEDORA-EPEL-2014-0525 security libyaml-0.1.5-1.el6.x86_64 FEDORA-EPEL-2014-0990 security libyaml-0.1.6-1.el6.x86_64 yum --security check-update -q libyaml.x86_64 0.1.3-4.el6_6 updates Then I can add this to nagios or cron to get a notification about available security updates. Do you see any advantages/disadvantages in using one of the three choices? How do you do this kind of task? What can you propose to get a notification about available security updates? BR, Rafal.
