Hi Paul, I have the autoupdated disabled, Look at the 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 = no # automatically download updates do_download = no # automatically download deps of updates do_download_deps = no Sincerely, I think that someone has applied the updates manually and now is in silence. Is there any way to know if the update has been done manually or automatically (perhaps looking at any log file) ?
