Automatic Updates via YUM?

[jim.thornton]

Is it recommended to setup the server to automatically update via YUM? I have CentOS 6.5 installed and I want to make sure that my server stays up to date. However, I find that diligent at going in and doing it manually on even a semi-regular basis.

I do it manually, but you can set it up to do it automatically its fine.

I do yum updates automatically (make sure yur yum exclude file is correct so you don't override any software with yum which needs the CustomBuild install to work properly).

I do the CustomBuild updates manually, from the command line (not from the plugin).

Would you mind sharing your exclude file as I don't know what I should do.

It should be standard from DA, in yum.conf, last line:

exclude=apache* httpd* mod_* mysql* MySQL* da_* *ftp* exim* sendmail* php* bind-chroot*
