yum auto update reboots machine?
Hi,
If I configure my cent 5.2 to automatically download and install updates via yum at a certain interval , will my machine automatically reboot after the patches are applied? thanx |
I've never seen such a feature in yum. The system only reboots if you specifically set it to reboot.

Hi,
It's not a yum feature but rather a way of dealing with yum using yum-updatesd. [root@mycomputer bin]# cat /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf [main] # how often to check for new updates (in seconds) run_interval = 3600 # how often to allow checking on request (in seconds) updaterefresh = 600 # how to send notifications (valid: dbus, email, syslog) emit_via = syslog # should we listen via dbus to give out update information/check for # new updates dbus_listener = yes # automatically install updates do_update = no # automatically download updates do_download = yes # automatically download deps of updates do_download_deps = yes |
if you use
# yum -y update no, In *nix systems, the OS only does what you want it to do, if you want to restart it every time you update (not recommended at all) then you will use # shutdown -r now after the update |
There's no need to reboot unless you installed a new kernel (and want to run it).
