I am running CentOS5 . Yum pkg was installed by deault fresh installation.
pls see below for installed yum pkgs.
[root@mailgw ~]# rpm -qa |grep yum
yum-updatesd-3.0.5-1.el5.centos.2
yum-3.0.5-1.el5.centos.2
later, I installed below pkg for protection.
yum-protectbase-1.0.4-2.el5.centos
Now, everything works. But, in this vershion of yum, It has no crontab running. It has a file called /etc/yum/ yum-updatesd.conf instaed.
in this yum-updatesd.conf file,
by default, below 3 lines were set to no
# automatically install updates
do_update = no
# automatically download updates
do_download = no
# automatically download deps of updates
do_download_deps = no
I changed it to yes.
Pls see below for my yum-updatesd.conf file.
[root@mailgw ~]# cat /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf
[main]
# how often to check for new updates (in seconds)
run_interval = 3600
# how often to allow checking on request (in seconds)
updaterefresh = 600
# how to send notifications (valid: dbus, email, syslog)
emit_via = dbus
# should we listen via dbus to give out update information/check for
# new updates
dbus_listener = yes
# automatically install updates
do_update = yes
# automatically download updates
do_download = yes
# automatically download deps of updates
do_download_deps = yes
Then, I noticed it runs all the time.
Is it proper?
or is there any other way to run yum.
Pls note that I need to download and install all the upfdates automatically as I have installed yum-protectbase.
Help needed.
