Thanks for the tip. > Maybe check it out, seems like it could solve your problem. just read the manpage of anacron: "...with a frequency specified in days". So that doesn't help me with my maximum update response time of one hour. Of course I want to be able to have multiple updates per day (for my locally created packages). I still think that yum-updatesd is the best tool for the job.
