I use yam to keep a local fedora-update repository by running "yam -u" as a nightly cron job (see below). I can then run "yum update" on the machines on my home LAN. All this works perfectly - thank you, Messrs yum and yam - so what I am asking is really sugar on the plum-pudding. I find the log entries for yam are a little sparse. On the other hand, if I say "yam - v" they are excessively verbose. It would be nice if there was a medium which just recorded the rpm's which were downloaded. ,----[ /etc/cron.daily/yam.cron ] | #!/bin/bash | # Populate fedora-update repository | /bin/date >> /var/log/yam.log | /usr/bin/yam -u >> /var/log/yam.log | /usr/bin/createrepo -q /var/yam/fc3-i386/updates >> /var/log/yam.log | exit 0 `---- -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
