Nope, I don't run yum. I do manual updates. So I've rsynced the
updates to a local drives, and then ran rpm against them. There's
something about running un-attended updates on a life system. I've had
too many cases where I come into the office in the morning and the
system is dead because of some update overnight.
Fascinating - I've always had to run yum manually, and I've never seen
an overnight update on my system.
Are you sure you don't have rogue administrators sneaking in at night
and 'yup'ing?
(Okay, that wasn't a serious suggestion, but your issue seems kind of
strange...)
Just my $0.02.
Yes, aside from being able to run yum manually while still letting it do
all the work, when has anyone seen a Centos system die from an update?
I know it's theoretically possible and I baby-sit the critical systems
too (at least the first on each hardware type), but this stuff is pretty
well tested before being pushed out.
