In FC5 I chkconfig'd yum on to activate the nightly automatic yum download/update triggered by /etc/cron.daily/yum.cron. That process got replaced in FC6 with yum-updatesd. Instead of me interactively applying updates with the desktop applet, I want to re-establish the nightly automatic yum download/update.
Looking around led me to the /etc/yum/yum-udpatesd.conf file, which I changed to this:
Code:
[main]
# how often to check for new updates (in seconds)
run_interval = 86400
# how often to allow checking on request (in seconds)
updaterefresh = 600
# how to send notifications (valid: dbus, email, syslog)
emit_via = dbus
# automatically install updates
do_update = yes
# automatically download updates
do_download = yes
# automatically download deps of updates
do_download_deps = yes
The problem is that yum-updatesd does not appear to be paying any attention to do_udpate, do_download, do_download_deps. So I've got yum-updatesd running, but it is not automatically downloading and applying updates. Any ideas what's happening? (p.s. I did restart yum-updatesd with "/etc/init.d/yum-updatesd reload" after changing the conf file.)
