So - this is somewhat related to a discussion we were having about cron-job notifications in fedora-infra today. ie: if we are getting a chronic, ignoreable message, we don't need it every hour or what-not - we need to be reminded that it is still happening - but maybe not ALL the time. so I am working on a nag-once script you pipe all the output from a cron job to it like this: myjob 2>&1 | nag-once myjob 1w it takes the output, compares it to the last run of the 'myjob' id and if the content is the same and the last time it emitted a message is less than time listed (1week) then it doesn't output anything. If the content changes or more than a week has passed - then it emits the content. I know it's not yum-cron specific but it is somewhat related. -sv _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list Yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
