Automatic update?
Hi!
I have Fedora Core 5 running. How can I check if automatic updates are on? Or... is there a way to tell the system to automatically update certain packages? Thank you bye! |
Take a look at /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf - the setting are very clear. Once you make any necessary changes, restart the maintenance daemon:
service yum-updatesd restart |
Ok, and do you think it could work if I put this script in cron.weekly?
yum update ssh -y yum update httpd -y yum update clamav -y yum update postfix -y yum update amavisd -y yum update squirrelmail -y Is this done right? Is it dangerous to update this weekly without supervision? How can I make the script tell me if something went wrong? Thank you |
I have 8 machines, x86, x86_64, ppc architectures. I run nightly:
yum -y update No problems since 2001. A given night's update may not succeed, because of a partially updated repository. It usually corrects itself in a day or two. Why would you want to run your system with hundreds of known bugs? |
