I've install yum-cron on a new CentOS 7 host and after a recent update I am now getting daily repeating emails about that update instead of the single notification I was expecting. Does anyone know what's going on? Kirk

Hi, folks, Our bastion host decided to update itself in the middle of the night, which gave at least one user issues. So, the question is why? In both /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf and /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf, apply_updates = no. Has anyone else seen this? mark
