Created attachment 530995 [details]
patch to add this feature

Description of problem: I would like to be able to run some shell commands not recognized by yum-shell (because they aren't really yum commands) shortly before and just after the script runs.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.2.29-17


How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. wish for something done automatically just before yum-cron executes
2. wish for something to be done automatically just after yum-cron executes
3. find only ugly hack solutions
  
Actual results: no good way of doing this


Expected results: some way of doing this that doesn't involve editing /etc/cron.daily/0yum-cron


Additional info: The attached patch adds this functionality

Comment 2 James Antill 2012-01-16 20:58:42 UTC
yum-cron has changed a lot upstream since it was moved into yum. I'm tempted to say just create your own cron job instead, maybe talk with upstream about the kinds of things you want to do pre/post and see if we can merge them in a better way.
