similar to: Yum-updatesd version in reports?

Hello, I'm beginning to give up on making Linux-HA's heartbeat work for my environment (CentOS x86_64) and am wondering what other option have I got to help me: 1. Use IPVS to maintain a cluster of virtual servers, either master/slave or load-balanced. 2. Use DRBD in master/slave fashion to keep a home-grown application highly-available. The first thing I stumbled upon is RedHat Cluster

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

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.

Hello, Is there a standard programmatic way to manipulate yum configuration files, particularly the .repo files? I want to add things like "priority=..." per repo, or "check_obsoletes=1" to the priorities plugin config. I can cook specific search/append using perl or sed but was wondering whether there is a more elegant way. I found Perl's Conf::INI module but it

Hi All, I am running CentOS5 . Yum pkg was installed by deault fresh installation. pls see below for installed yum pkgs. [root at mailgw ~]# rpm -qa |grep yum yum-updatesd-3.0.5-1.el5.centos.2 yum-3.0.5-1.el5.centos.2 later, I installed below pkg for protection. yum-protectbase-1.0.4-2.el5.centos Now, everything works. But, in this vershion of yum, It has no crontab running. It has a file

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

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

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, I'd like to set the io scheduler on some of the disks on our Dom0 (CentOS 5) to "deadline". The way I found to do this is with "echo deadline > /sys/block/sdb/queue/scheduler". What is the Right Way(TM) to set this automatically during boot? I sort of expected to use sysctl but it appears to only deal with pseudo-files under /proc/sys, not /sys. Also

Hello, I created a CentOS 5.0 x86_64 guest under Debian Etch with Xen 3.0.3 and it boots fine except for one re-occuring problem - whenever it boots the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 script gets renamed to .bak and doesn''t configure the ethernet device. Here is the content of this file: TYPE=Ethernet DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=192.168.0.247

Hello, So I've watched a few threads about the new 5.0 vs. 5.1 upgrade and have a couple of (hopefully) practical questions about this: Context - I'd like to stick to 5.0 at least for a while until the dust around 5.1 settles down (and I'm back from holidays). As an example - In Debian, as long as I stick to "stable" I can be sure that the only updates I receive there are

I have a couple of CentOS 5.1 boxes, mostly i386, but a couple x86_64, some real, some virtual. On all of them, I have yum-updatesd configured to emit via email to root. Here is a sample yum-updatesd.conf from one of them: [main] # how often to check for new updates (in seconds) run_interval = 14400 # how often to allow checking on request (in seconds) updaterefresh = 600 # how to send

Hello, I just discovered Gluster a couple of weeks ago and went through the initial documentation and got it compiled. It looks very promising both for my home network and for work. For now I'm concentrating at home - We have to Ubuntu 8.04 desktops, one for me and one for my wife. We generally try to keep them off when not used but at any time any one of them could be up or down. I was

Hello, Has anyone got Heartbeat 1.2.5 (latest Heartbeat 1 version) to compile and run on CentOS 5? I downloaded the source but hit difficulties compiling it, presumebly because it was never quite tweaked to run on the latest version. Thanks, --Amos

Hello, I''m writing my first puppet function rspec test and am having a problem which I don''t see how to solve. The function (and the test) involve access to files through the File Server. In order for the function (and the test) to work I need to pass "--fileserverconf=fileserver.conf" parameter to Puppet. So far I haven''t found a way to do that. If I

Hello, Is there a generic built-in way on CentOS to overlook that a specific process is alive and re-spawn it (or just run a configured command) when it dies? I know how to script things so a parent will watch its child, but was wondering whether there is something more readily available instead of having to reinvent the wheel. The process must be controlled via a /etc/init.d/... script and

Hello, Is there any package on CentOS 5 which provides perl-libnet? Beartbeat 1 depends on it but so far I couldn't find a package. Also - is there a way to find which non-installed package contains files with matching names (a-la Debian's apt-file)? I know about "rpm -qf" but it only works on packages which are already installed. I saw some place mentioning a command called

My environment: Ubuntu LTS 12.04, carbon (https://github.com/graphite-project/carbon) 0.9.9 installed using "pip". I just learned why when I run "pip freeze" on a system I don''t see the "carbon" package even when it installed successfully - I should run it with "PYTHONPATH=/opt/graphite/lib/ pip freeze". (ref:
