Description Jan ONDREJ 2013-10-11 06:48:48 UTC
Description of problem:
On each successful update, yum send email using cron with actually applied updates. I have multiple servers with similar configuration and currently I will get lots of similar messages from yum.

Also I receive same information from logwatch and from one of my script, which is searching for differences, so this message from yum is a duplicate of logwatch.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum-3.4.3-111.fc19.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Actual results:
Subject: Anacron job 'cron.daily' on ftp.upjs.sk                                

/etc/cron.daily/0yum-daily.cron:

The following updates will be applied on ftp.upjs.sk:

yum-cron-3.4.3-111.fc19 has an option to disable these messages.

/etc/yum/yum-cron.conf -> update_messages

Simply set it to 'no' and you should stop recieving mail from the process.

I set this to no 3 days ago. No messages are sent, but no updates are installed 3 days. :-(

I set it in yum-cron.conf and yum-cron-hourly-conf too. My settings:

[root@work yum]# grep ^[a-z] yum-cron.conf
update_cmd = default
update_messages = no
download_updates = yes
apply_updates = yes
random_sleep = 0
system_name = None
emit_via = stdio
ouput_width = 80
email_from = root
email_to = root
email_host = localhost
group_list = None
group_package_types = mandatory, default
debuglevel = -3
mdpolicy = group:main

[root@work yum]# grep ^[a-z] yum-cron-hourly.conf
update_cmd = default
update_messages = no
download_updates = no
apply_updates = yes
random_sleep = 0
system_name = None
emit_via = stdio
ouput_width = 80
email_from = root
email_to = root
email_host = localhost
group_list = None
group_package_types = mandatory, default
debuglevel = -4
mdpolicy = group:main
