Sometimes yum may take a considerable time to time-out when it encounters a busy server, but have not seen it totally hang, at least not since much earlier (Fedora) versions. Be sure you are waiting long enough. Have never had a yum hang requiring a reboot. > Calling yum in ssh session (for managing more than one nodes) shows > similar problems - it seems > that yum needs a tty, otherwise it will not operate. Can somebody > confirm this? I regularly use yum in interactive ssh sessions, and have run it in cron jobs, so it definitely does not require a TTY. If you are trying to run it as a command argument to the the ssh invocation, rather than in an interactive session, appropriate switches (-y at least) and I/O redirection are required. > Did somebody make similar experiences?
