Here's to the fastest coder at Duke :) Anyway, I finolly tested the debug levels. I think it's almost right, and my suggestions here are totally up for debate. (Because at the moment, the cron jobs do what I want) When you do an install or update, and something get's installed or updated, then it works correctly, both the d 0, and the d 1 levels. It also works correctly if you are doing an update, but don't give it any name. But, when you do an install or update, giving it a package name, then it gives back a reply for both -d 0 and -d 1 levels. In my opinion, the -d 0 debug level shouldn't give back any reply for this, because this isn't really a fatal error. # yum -d 0 -y install nedit # yum -d 0 -y install nedit nedit is installed and is the latest version. # rpm -e nedit # yum -d 1 -y install nedit Installed: nedit-i386 # yum -d 1 -y install nedit nedit is installed and is the latest version. # # yum -d 1 update # yum -d 1 update nedit nedit is installed and the latest version. # yum -d 0 update # yum -d 0 update nedit nedit is installed and the latest version. # Troy -- __________________________________________________ Troy Dawson dawson@xxxxxxxx (630)840-6468 Fermilab ComputingDivision/OSS CSI Group __________________________________________________
