yum-updatesd.conf(5)

Overview

yum-updatesd uses a configuration file at /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf.

Additional configuration information is read from the main yum.conf (5) configuration file.

There is one section in the yum-updatesd configuration file, main, which defines all of the global configuration options.

The [main] section must exist for yum-updatesd to do anything. It consists of the following options:

run_interval: Number of seconds to wait between checks for available updates.

updaterefresh: Minimum number of seconds between update information refreshes to avoid hitting the server too often.

emit_via: List of ways to emit update notification. Valid values are `email', `dbus' and `syslog'.

do_update: Boolean option to decide whether or not updates should be automatically applied. Defaults to False.

do_download_deps: Boolean option to decide whether or not updates should be automatically downloaded. Defaults to False.

do_download_deps: Boolean option to automatically download dependencies of packages which need updating as well. Defaults to False.

email_to: List of email addresses to send update notification to. Defaults to `root@localhost'.

email_from: Email address for update notifications to be from. Defaults to `yum-updatesd@localhost'.

`syslog_facility`	What syslog facility should be used. Defaults to `DAEMON'.
`syslog_level`	Level of syslog messages. Defaults to `WARN'.
