Hi.
Although compared to apticron it was rubbish as a person who is looking after multiple systems I used to rely on yum-updatesd to notify me when updates were available.
This is gone in Centos6 it seems, Is there an equivalent for Centos6?
I need to be notified regarding updates, I do not want them to be installed automatically although downloading them (ready for install) is useful.
I have seen yum-cron - http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/6/x86_64/repoview/yum-cron.html
- does this have the option to notify/download only (i.e not install) ?
- does it have the option to email notifications ?
If not can anyone suggest anything else?
Many thanks
yum-updatesd gone - is there a replacement which email you (only) on updates

I don't know of a direct replacement, but have not tried yum-cron. There's always the [url=http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-announce]centos-announce ML[/url] but not the same thing.
[Somewhat OT: SL6 has yum-autoupdate which surprises many by being enabled by default and running updates automatically except those excluded. It will notify you after the fact when updates are installed.]
