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

If you want it to do that you must change "apply_updates" in /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf from "no" to "yes". -- regards Harold Toms http://iodine.chem.qmul.ac.uk "Priestley's works... tended to unsettle every thing, and yet settled nothing." - Samuel Johnson.
