It provides methods to keep +repository metadata up to date, and to check for, download, and apply +updates. Rather than accepting many different command line arguments, +the different functions of yum-cron can be accessed through config +files. +.PP +\fIconfig-file\fP is used to optionally specify the path to the +configuration file to use. If it is not given, the default +configuration file will be used. It is useful to be able to specify +different configuration files for different use cases. For example, +one configuration file might be set to update the repository metadata, +and a line could be added to the crontab to run yum-cron frequently +using this file. Then, another configuration file might be set to +install updates, and yum-cron could be run from cron using this file +just once each day. + +.SH "FILES" +.nf +/etc/yum-cron.conf +.fi + +.PP +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.nf +.I yum (8) +.fi + +.PP +.SH "AUTHORS" +.nf +See the Authors file included with this program. +.fi + +.PP +.SH "BUGS" +There of course aren't any bugs, but if you find any, you should email + the mailing list, [email protected], or consult bugzilla. +.fi -- 1.7.11.4 _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
