How do i make a good update-script for Yum? Because when i want to update my web-server on a daily basis. There have to be an exception in the script for MySQL and PHP. Instead of a automatic update for PHP and MySQL, do i want receive a notice by e-mail for the ROOT to update manual.

I run a few dozen dedicated web servers all running CentOS 5.5. A long time ago when one server was apparently compromised, I was urgently advised to sign in to the server and run "yum update" at least once a week to ensure that everything which I had installed using "yum", would get updated with any recently available updates, including security fixes, and that one reason I might have been hacked before was because I hadn't been doing that.
So, I'm still not sure if that would have prevented the original break-in, or how much this has reduced my chances of being hacked, but I've been faithfully signing in to each server every week for the past few months and running "yum udpate". Most times, this results in a lot of patches being downloaded and applied, so it's clear the machines are not doing it automatically. I figure it's about time to learn how to make the machines do this on their own. Is there a standard way to make "yum update" run automatically, every day, or every week? Yes, I'm sure there are many ways to do it, but is there a single way used by the majority of webmasters of CentOS sites who have automatic updates set up? Googling a bit for "make yum updates automatic" turned up some threads like:
[code]...
in which people describe writing their own custom scripts to do yum update automatically. This seems odd. It seems like the kind of thing that there would be a standard way to turn on. Also, is there a reason that virtually every newly provisioned dedicated server does not have "yum update" set up to recur automatically? If it's true that people break into websites using exploits that have been found in older versions of webservers and other software, and that sometimes these breakins would have been prevented by the newest patches, wouldn't it reduce the number of websites being compromised if the OS had yum updates turned on automatically by default?
On two Centos5 servers, yum gives a segmentation fault error when trying 'yum update' or 'yum check-update' after running 'yum clean' :
[Code]....
The error is the same for the other computer except while attempting to update the rpmforge repository. Nothing has really changed on the servers in some time and 'yum update' worked fine on each yesterday and I have no idea why they would both suddenly fail!
For some reason, when I do a yum check-update I get a list of no changed packages to install. If I follow this immediately with a yum update then it tries to install drbd83. I've tried a yum clean all and repeated the commands and get the same thing. This happens on both the machines that are set up to use DRBD. Just seems weird and I don't understand. Anyone got an explanation?

Just checking to be sure. 5.3>5.4 update went without a hitch:) But a message ran about (/etc/yum.repo.d) CentOS-Base.repo.rpmnew. Comparing CentOS-Base.repo with the new one show the 1st has the correct priorities and .rpmnew does not have the correct priorities. Should I remove the *.rpmnew repo after making sure it otherwise is the same as the original CentOS-Base.repo?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am an old days RH release user(from 6.x) and just switching back from Debian/Ubuntu to CentOS on some servers, but I can not understand the kernel update strategy currently enabled in CentOS.There are two boxes, with almost identical installation, but recently there was an auto update of kernel on one box. This auto update also seems to issue an auto reboot on the machine, which is unacceptable on server machines.

I updated some guinea pigs that I had physical access to and didn't have any issues. So I remotely updated a small farm of LAMP machines that handle a couple of million page views per day. It took each machine approximately 5-6 minutes to download/install/reboot.
My kupdate-applet tells me it has a recommended update: KDE 4.3.5 from the official opensuse update repo. Problem is I already have a more recent version of KDE 4.3.5 installed from the official opensuse KDE repo. In yast I pressed the "switch system packages" button for the KDE repo. How can I make the update applet ignore this "recommended" update? Note that the updateApplet itself is installed from the opensuse update repo. If I don't do this, then the older update applet from the KDE repo always has a recommended update for... Kupdate-applet.

My system is rather flaky as of late. I was trying, yet again, to get the internal bluetooth (rtl8723be) to work, so I could free up one of only two usb ports on the lenovo ideapad 100. In my blinding brilliance I typed make uninstall, after make did not work (why I did this, I still don't know), and I noticed that it said btusb.ko was removed, as expected at reboot, no bluetooth adaptors were found, I tried reinstalling bluetooth via apt-get, no success, so finally I just ran apt-get update, and apt-get upgrade, once finished, my system did not want to reboot with a sudo init 6, so I hard powered it off and restarted, after it's obligatory fsck, everything okie dokie, it booted up and voila, bluetooth working again, or should I say, the usb adaptor bluetooth, not the rtl8723be.
So I figured, ah, the heck with it, just enjoy my speaker for watching a movie via kodi, and that's when I see that it's buffering continuously so I check a couple different speed tests, and my wifi is only pulling 2.0ish mb down, I booted into windows 10, just to check, and sure enough, same result.....so I don't know if the adapter is dying or what, so, I figure, I'll try and update the driver, this is where I run into not being able to run any make commands they all error with:
Code: Select allmake[1]: Entering directory '/lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/build'
