Hi List;
I'm running a new install of FC6.
most of the time when I try to run yum or smart I get an error that there is
already a running yum process:
a ps shows this:
root@Issac # ps -ef | grep yum
root 2776 1 0 09:58 ?
00:00:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/sbin/yum-updatesd
root 6051 3779 0 10:11 pts/2 00:00:00 grep yum
Anyone know why? what is running this? is this a good thing?
It a system wide service that checks for updates. See
http://www.redhat.com/magazine/024oct06/features/fc62/ for more details.
Yum processes conflicting on this service is a bug that is allegedly
fixed in a update available in the update-testing repository.
# yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install yum-updatesd
to verify this.
