Custom yum menu script.

GufyMike · 05-25-2004, 12:24 PM

Hey,

I remeber back aways a thread about sharing our scripts and conf files after install and as the thread starter sorry this is going to be long. Well here is a custom Bash Shell Script. It will install yum (for those who don't have it). Update yum and installed packages , List packages and and remove packages. Pretty much it will do all the jobs of installing and maintaining software that yum can do.

If you run into any errors or bugs email me or pm me.

Just copy the code to a text file and namethe file : yummenu; chmod to 555 and run as root (so functions only work as root) in a terminal or ssh session. To run it from a command prompt type:
$./yummenu
from the same dir as yummenu. I will paste the code for it in the next post.

Here is a copy of my yum.conf (i'm running FC2):

Code:

There are no comments because, the Script will tell you what its doing.
ALso for the installation of yum to work you must chang h*tp or ht*p to http

Thanx to everyone here who has asked and answered post they helped me get through my initial woes. I hope this helps some of you as much as you have helped me.
