This is on a CentOS 5.0 machine. I tried to run yum to search for php5-curl and the following happens. # yum search curl Loading "installonlyn" plugin Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running. Aborting. # ps aux --width=200 | grep yum root 3773 0.0 78.0 2949520 2628188 ? S Feb12 10:26 /usr/bin/python /usr/sbin/yum-updatesd # cat /var/run/yum.pid 3773 # Shouldn't I be able to run yum from the command line even when the update service is running. I haven't seen this happen before.
