Description Vadym Chepkov 2007-10-11 09:37:40 UTC 
Description of problem:

yum-cron produces unexpected output if CHECK_ONLY=yes

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-cron-0.5-1.fc7

How reproducible:
set CHECK_ONLY=yes in /etc/sysconfig/yum-cron, run /etc/cron.daily/yum.cron

You will see '^M' sequence on the screen if any updates are present because of 
echo "`/usr/bin/yum -e 0 -d 0 -y -C check-update`^M" 

Additional info:
touch $LOCKFILE is not an atomic operation, so it won't serve the purpose of
preventing two instances running if two processes will start exactly at the same
time. The proper solution would be mkdir $LOCKFILE 2>/dev/null || exit , well,
you got the idea.

Thanks for catching this bit of cut-n-paste disease, I should be using escape
characters rather than embedded ctrl sequences anyway.  Fixing...
