Quoting Seth Shoemaker <sshoemaker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
future? The main problem I have with this is that if I set my machines
to auto update using yum and it stops programs such as mysql that I need
to have running all of the time, this is a bad thing!
Never, ever set servers or other important (must be up and running) machines
to use unattended auto-upgrade features of yum, apt, up2date, or anything
else. You will only cause yourself pain and suffering. You can have it
run on a regular basis to download and advise you that updates are needed,
but you should never have it do unattended updates if the machine/service
uptime is important.
It may be fine to do unattended auto-updates on your desktop or laptop, but
not on your critical servers...
Thanks.
