That works. (at least on one system I'm testing on).
For the detail-minded:
I tried killing off the hung processes - the first two, the yum.cron
and the awk, died just fine. The python needed a 'kill -9'.
Then doing a 'yum update rpm*', I got the message:
There are unfinished transactions remaining. You might consider running
yum-complete-transaction first to finish them.
Turns out, 'yum-complete-transaction' *is* mentioned in the man page
for yum, but my system can't find it - command not found. I tried
running it after the rpm update. Instead, I just ran another 'yum update'
and the cups and nfs-utils (the only other one left to do) updated
just fine.
Thanks Troy!
