Hi everyone, yum-autoupdate keeps sending emails even if nothing happened. Relevant config settings: SENDEMAIL="true" SENDONLYERRORS="false" DEBUG="false" This behaviour is due to the yum invokation that has changed in 6rolling. In 6.4 the relevant line is: > /usr/bin/yum -c $TEMPCONFIGFILE -e 0 -d 1 -y $SECURITY update 2>&1 | cat > $TEMPFILE In 6rolling we have this: > YUMOUT="$(yum -c $TEMPCONFIGFILE -e 0 -d 1 -y $SECURITY $SKIP_BROKEN update 2>&1)" > echo "$YUMOUT" > $TEMPFILE which leads to a single newline character in $TEMPFILE even if there was no output from yum. Later, the script checks whether or not the $TEMPFILE size is greater than zero. That's where the mail comes from. Suggestion: use > echo -n "$YUMOUT" > $TEMPFILE Kind regards, Philippe
