I'm new to YUM but was looking for a way to manage a number of systems, more or less centrally. The key was that I wanted to not only to "update" but "push" and... I think... this is going to work for me. Is this an appropriate way to achieve a centrally managed update and push? #!/bin/sh if [ -f /var/lock/subsys/yum ]; then /usr/bin/yum -R 10 -e 0 -d 0 -y -c http://ljads2/rhel4/yum.conf update yum /usr/bin/yum -R 120 -e 0 -d 0 -y -c http://ljads2/rhel4/yum.conf update /usr/bin/yum -R 120 -e 0 -d 0 -y -c http://ljads2/rhel4/yum- push.conf install fi LEGAL NOTICE Unless expressly stated otherwise, this message is confidential and may be privileged.
