Hi All,
According to /var/log/yum.log, something is doing back
ground updates.
This morning the flash-plugin updated after I downgraded
it yesterday and I got a libvirt updated that crashed
my VMs. I did not ask for these updates. I am afraid to go
on the Internet!
How do I turn off these background updates?
I'd suggest looking at the output returned by --
sudo yum list yum-\*
Just checked for myself. The yum-cron package looks as if it is the
guilty party.
Name : yum-cron
Arch : noarch
Version : 3.2.29
Release : 30.el6
Size : 35 k
Repo : rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6
Summary : Files needed to run yum updates as a cron job
License : GPLv2+
Description : These are the files needed to run yum updates as a cron job.
: Install this package if you want auto yum updates
nightly via cron.

Hi Alan,
$ yum list yum-\* | grep -i cron
yum-cron.noarch
# rpm -qa \*yum-cron\*
#
Not installed. RATS!
Yippee! I think I found the little bugger!
/etc/sysconfig/yum-autoupdate
# ENABLED
# true - Run yum-autoupdate
# false - Do not run yum-autoupdate (default)
# + anything other than true defaults to false
ENABLED="true"
Ah HA! "ENABLED" is now "false". And I will reboot
just to make sure everyone is listening!
Thank you!
