I have a couple of CentOS 5.1 boxes, mostly i386, but a couple
x86_64, some real, some virtual.
On all of them, I have yum-updatesd configured to emit via email to root. Here
is a sample yum-updatesd.conf from one of them:
[main]
# how often to check for new updates (in seconds)
run_interval = 14400
# how often to allow checking on request (in seconds)
updaterefresh = 600
# how to send notifications (valid: dbus, email, syslog)
emit_via = email
email_from = root@FQDN (the real server FQDN is
in the file)
# should we listen via dbus to give out update information/check for
# new updates
dbus_listener = yes
# automatically install updates
do_update = no
# automatically download updates
do_download = no
# automatically download deps of updates
do_download_deps = no
None of the servers notified me of the batch of updates that came out this weekend.
Running 'service yum-updatesd status' on each of them showed it as running, yet
a 'yum update' showed the available updates. I tried running yum-updatesd
manually on each, and after loading the plugins (installonlyn and priorities)
it appears to hang or pause but no messages were generated either on console,
/var/log/messages or email.
Any idea what gives?
