I've just started using Yum to maintain our systems, and am very pleased with both the effectiveness and the simplicity of it. The main drawback at the moment is that 'yum-arch' is a bit chatty, even when run in quiet mode (-q). I keep getting told about older packages, duplicate packages, a pre-existing headers directory, etc These feel like warnings rather than errors, so I'd really like to run yum-arch "silently", and just be told about serious problems. That way I could safely shove this in a cron job, and forget about it. As it stands, I'm either going to have to throw away the output completely (which I *hate* doing) or get a mail message generated every day (which will tend to get deleted unread!) Any chance of a '-qq' mode ? Dave
