Correction: Whatever that line tries to strip, it isn't a timestamp. Btw, the format of /var/log/yum.log differs between CentOS 5 and 6: - CentOS 5: Jan 10 11:33:49 Updated: bacula-client.i386 5.2.12-6.el5 - CentOS 6: Jan 11 03:39:39 Updated: bacula-client-5.2.12-6.el6.x86_64 On CentOS 6, the script line above would do no harm because after stripping the timestamp there is only one space character left in the line, so the pattern doesn't match. -- Tilman Schmidt Phoenix Software GmbH Bonn, Germany _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
