Request on Cent OS insight

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



 
Hello List,
     I am getting familar with CentOS and using Rel 4.6. My goal is to get a automated update *(email)* of system updates.
I found the link below in the WIKI. Additionally I have enable "yum" to run as a service int 345 and started it.
yum update from the command line works fine-
 
    There are three scripts indicated on the web link below :
 
 
usr/bin/yum-check            ( not on the machine)
   
/etc/cron.daily/yum.cron:  ( not on the machine)
 
there a is file named yum.cron at this location-
 
[root@bmc-4 cron.daily]# cat yum.cron
#!/bin/sh
 
if [ -f /var/lock/subsys/yum ]; then
        /usr/bin/yum -R 120 -e 0 -d 0 -y update yum
        /usr/bin/yum -R 10 -e 0 -d 0 -y shell /etc/yum/yum-daily.yum
fi
 
etc/sysconfig/yum-check:  (not on the machine)
 
 
I am not sure what to do with the information provided. Can others point me in a direction please..
 
The documentation is not clear.
 
Thanks,
 
Stephen
