I went to www.redhat.com and searched for redhat iso and got a link to a
site I don't have up right now. I got this script from that link. It
updates rpms and deletes old ones.
#! /bin/bash
# This script updates rpms in a RedHat distribution found in $RPMDIR.
# The old rpms will be placed in $OLDDIR.
# The new rpms should be located in $UPDDIR.
# The architechture is $ARCH.
RHVERSION=6.0
ARCH=i386
CDDIR=/vmware/redhat
RPMDIR=${CDDIR}/${ARCH}/RedHat/
RPMSUPDDIR=${CDDIR}/updates/${ARCH}
OLDDIR=${CDDIR}/old
if [ ! -d $OLDDIR ] ; then
echo making directory $OLDDIR
mkdir $OLDDIR
fi
allow_null_glob_expansion=1
for rpm in ${UPDDIR}/*.rpm ; do
NAME=`rpm --queryformat "%{NAME}" -qp $rpm`
unset OLDNAME
for oldrpm in ${RPMDIR}/${NAME}*.rpm ; do
if [ `rpm --queryformat "%{NAME}" -qp $oldrpm` = "$NAME" ]; then
OLDNAME=$oldrpm;
break
fi
done
if [ -z "$OLDNAME" ]; then
echo $NAME is new
cp -pv $rpm $RPMDIR
else
if [ `basename $rpm` != `basename $OLDNAME` ]; then
mv $OLDNAME $OLDDIR
cp -pv $rpm $RPMDIR
fi
fi
done
# Copy new boot image files to the right place...
for newfile in ${UPDDIR}/images/* ; do
file=${CDDIR}$/${ARCH}/images/$(basename ${newfile})
if [ $newfile -nt $file ] ; then
cp -pv $newfile $file
fi
done
exit 0
