The intention is to put it in cron, giving myself adequate leeway after testing of course :) I am subscribed to rhel-i386-es-4. I don't need assistance with the script, but rather the specific command. I see a ton of options for up2date, but all I want to do is update packages that are currently on the system. I see the following options for up2date, but neither quite fits: -i or --install wants a specific package name --installall *appears* to want to install *all* packages in that channel. Any suggestions? Yes, I could do it on the webpage, but currently do not have management entitlements, so would have do do each system individually and that would be a very very very last step. Thank you for your time!! -Jim -- "He who fights too long against dragons becomes a dragon himself; and if you gaze too long into the abyss, the abyss will gaze into you." _______________________________________________ rhn-users mailing list rhn-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhn-users ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
