perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Andrew Lake <>]

Hi,

Ok, that helps clarify why are you seeing that behavior. Probably what needs to happen is that our script needs to be updated so those lines are in the if-block with all the others so they only run on new install.

Thanks,

Andy

Hi Andrew,

No, my habit (good or bad, this can be discussed) is to keep the
service yum-cron running but modify the file(s) :
/etc/yum/yum-cron.conf
/etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf

to say :
[...]
download_updates = yes
apply_updates = no
[...]

This way, the updates can be downloaded and ready to use and I can get
an alert as an option.

Those files were rewritten during the last Perfsonar updates with the
content :
apply_updates = yes

This is on CentOS7 with perfsonar-toolkit-4.1.3-1.el7.noarch
