This is the old "yum-updatesd does not work" questions. Why is there no fix? I installed about 10 Fedora 7 systems in a lab and ignored them during July. Now I notice that none of the updates from Fedora have been applied. In these systems, I set the yum-updatesd.conf file to do automatic updates, but nothing happens. [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 = syslog # automatically install updates do_update = yes # automatically download updates do_download = yes # automatically download deps of updates do_download_deps = yes ======================================= Except for sitting down at every machine every day and killing updatesd and running yum, I can't see any way around this. I go like this # /sbin/service yum-updatesd stop # yum -y updates # /sbin/service yum-updatesd start But it appears to me that nothing is updated automatically still. I can remove yum-updatesd and install a cron job to update rpms, but I kinda expected a fix in yum-updatesd would be available by now. -- Paul E.
