[rhn-users] RHN automatic errata update stopped working formysystems

[Riley, Liz (ACHE)]

Yes, but then I would rather know when my systems updated than have it
reset a package in the middle of the working day, example: mySQL, how
frustrating would it be if it bounced mySQL in the middle of something
important?

That would certainly do it but then isn't the auto errata feature of RHN
just pointless? I generally don't use the auto errata feature on my
systems at all (maybe on one desktop) but within our organization many
people rely on it to keep their systems current.
