Just trying to get some info on the yum-updatesd process as I audit some
of our RHEL5 systems and processes running on them. From what I can
tell, it runs to alert to the various updates that are available. But we
also have the rhnsd process running which is talking to a local
satellite server. The Sat. server already emails me the daily status
reports, as well as lists system updates outstanding. So I assume that
the yum-updatesd process in this case is redundant because I'm not
allowing any auto updating to happen on our systems.
Am I overlooking anything, and will I lose any unforeseen functionality
if I disable it?
Thanks!

P.S. On an unrelated note, does anyone know of a good searchable archive
for the RHEL mailing lists? The mailman archives at redhat aren't really
searchable, and the main RH site search appears to include list results,
but I'm not sure it's very accurate.
I think yum-updatesd exists to feed info (by default) to pirut so that
the applet can let users know that the systems needs to be updated. So,
there should be no harm in turning it off.
You can use google to search the archives via:
inurl:https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhelv5-list/ followed by the
search terms.
