This has come up in the past. The last time I suggested it, Seth had
objections. So I've been using this in the meantime..
yum list updates | awk '{ print $1 }' > .packages
for i in `cat .packages`;
do
yum -y update $i
done
rm -f .packages

I also had no luck with Seth regarding the suggestion to have yum
install rpms where no conflict exists. Someone posted this script that I
copied and used with success. (similar in function, different method)
#!/bin/sh
for i in `yum list updates |cut -f 1 -d " " |grep -A 500 -e Updated |\
grep -v -e Updates` ; do
echo "Updating $i"
yum -y update $i
Both scripts work similar. Now to get yum to pull in what it can deal
with, then report which packages need tended to, for those to install.
Now I have two scripts.
Thanks,
Jim
