It looks to me that something else has changed with yum and I have not yet located documentation for it. Perhaps someone here can give me a clue. In FC5 and earlier, nightly yum updates were enabled via /sbin/service as so: [dmaxwell@sturgeon ~]$ /sbin/service yum list Usage: /etc/init.d/yum {start|stop|status|restart|reload|force-reload|condrestart} [dmaxwell@sturgeon ~]$ /sbin/service yum status Nightly yum update is enabled. But in FC6, /sbin/service does not seem to recognize yum: [dmaxwell@tarpon ~]$ /sbin/service /sbin/service yum status /sbin/service: unrecognized service [dmaxwell@tarpon ~]$ /sbin/service /sbin/service yum add /sbin/service: unrecognized service The /etc/cron.daily directory in FC6 does not have yum.cron as was in FC5. What have I missed? Thanks! --Don
