[SOLVED] unattended-upgrades?

circus78 · 03-06-2016, 05:30 AM

Hi,
I am looking for some solution like "unattended-upgrade" in Debian.
I'd like to auto-magically install upgrades, but I'd prefer to be notified in case of some specific package (kernel, ssl, and so), because there is need to reboot machine.
What can I use for achieve this?
Thankyou!

Hi...

Not to sound rude but (unless I missed something,) did you perform a Google search? I found these in literally 1 to 2 seconds...

I am alreay using yum-cron but, as I said, I'd like to exclude some specific packages (eg. kernel).
Unfortunately, I use CentOS 5/6, so I can't use solutions in link #2.

Hi...

I happened to find the linuxaria page for CentOS 6 here, if it helps. It has instructions on how to block packages.

Thank you !
If I exclude some package (eg. kernel), I still will receive an email about update available?

I'm not sure, I've never used CentOS or this particular feature. You would need to try it and see. Perhaps another member would know this.
