I've installed yum-updatesd on my server (run level 3) and nothing seems
to happen. It hasn't reported any updates for a long time, whether on
F11 or F12. Yum update works, however.
Snip.
# automatically install updates
do_update = no
# automatically download updates
do_download = no
# automatically download deps of updates
do_download_deps = no
If you want yum-updatesd to actually do the updates you must set all
three of the above to yes.
I also set :
emit_via = syslog
dbus_listener = no
yum-updatesd silently does all updates for me on several machines.
