I've read that it's not recommended to automatically apply updates via yum-updated on production servers, but I keep encountering servers that have this enabled. Are any of you doing automatic yum updates on production servers in CentOS 5 via yum-updatesd? Have you experienced any negative side effects? The only thing I can think of is if say a client had a custom version of PHP

Hello, Sorry if this is somewhat naive, but I'm a little confused as to what the criteria is for that which will get upgraded automatically by yum and what will not. I see in our logwatch messages from time to time that yum upgraded a bunch of stuff, but I also notice that yum will not upgrade other packages at all (easy example is clamav, but there are others). Can someone

Dear Srs, yum-updatesd-0.9-2.el5 appears that it's not working on freshly installed CentOS 5.2, using: # rpm -qa "yum*" yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-2.el5 yum-updatesd-0.9-2.el5 yum-3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1 yum-fastestmirror-1.1.10-9.el5.centos I see some bugs ([1], [2] and [3]) in the bug tracker, and more info related to other distros like Fedora, etc.. with the same problem.

Ever since someone told me that one of my servers might have been hacked (not the most recent instance) because I wasn't applying updates as soon as they became available, I've been logging in and running "yum update" religiously once a week until I found out how to set the yum-updatesd service to do the equivalent automatically (once per hour, I think). Since then, I've

Hello All! I''ve been running Rails 2.0.2 with Ruby 1.8.6 for the last six months. I developed an application that runs fine on two different servers -- or at least, it used to. I used Mongrel as a development server, but requirements called for using Apache for a production deployment. I found Phusion Passenger (mod_rails) and decided to give it a try. I decided to update my rubygems

I recently enabled yum-updatesd on two identical servers and configured it to notify me of updates via e-mail. This worked fine to start with and it notified me on both machines when the kernel-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.x86_64.rpm update was released last week. However, today I realised that yum-updatesd was not running and thought it was due to rebooting after the kernel update and that I'd

I am about to set up a computer with Centos 6 that I'll probably never see again. I don't want to give out the root password, but I would like to have it automatically and transparently update itself. What is the best way to do this? I have been looking at webpages about yum-cron and yum-updatesd but nothing directly addresses Centos 6 and it appears that at least one of those two

So, I noticed that when adding a service to puppet, puppet is running a chkconfig <service>. However, as far as I can tell, puppet should be running a chkconfig --add <service>, otherwise the symlinks don''t get created from the service in /etc/rc.d/rc6.d back to the service in /etc/init.d. As as a result, the service is not stopped on shut down. I must be missing something

Hi, 1) When I'm doing a server install as well as a desktop install, I always start from a minimal install, then add components as needed. Now I noticed that on a minimal system (no X11, no GNOME), when doing either 'halt' or 'shutdown -h now', the machine halts... but doesn't switch off the power. The user has to do it manually. (I vaguely remember that on older

How do I disable the update agent in the upper right corner on centos 5? I am looking for a command line way to do this. I know I can right click on it and select quit. THanks, Jerry

CentOS 5.3 New updates available used to be flagged in the (Gnome) desktop notification area, but I don't get them any longer. What could be the problem? yum-updatesd is set up with the default configuration (dbus), and on the machines I changed the notification to email, I do indeed receive these emails.

Hi, I've just startted configuring yum-updatesd on all our servers to install updates automatically and it works great. But I don't see anywhere in its config or command line options a way to find which package version was replaced by which. Is this achieveable in any way or should I resort to some home-grown scripting again? Thanks. -Amos

Back in the Fedora docs I found on a google, it mentions that in FC6, the preferred tool for updates was the "new" yum-updatesd. Anyone know: a) what theological reason upstream had to drop it altogether, and b) what's the recommended replacement - is it yum-cron? I hand-update some servers, and of course users' workstations, but some system, like home directory servers and

Hello, Just finished installing Centos5.1 on two machines (P4s, Nvidia graphics, Gnome desktop) Running OpenGL applications and need to run in full screen mode without any frame borders or window icons across multiple monitors. ( 4 monitors with two dual-headed Nvidia cards in twinview mode ) One machine works just fine, the other retains the Gnome frame and opens the apps in an X-term
