I have some cron jobs that are taking a might long time. That is because they are screen scrapers and I inserted an extra long pause (10 minutes between screens) to be extra polite and minimize network traffic. I was going to have them run once a day but now I'm thinking once a week.
How do I... (2 Replies)

Hi
Is it possible to run different cron jobs at the same time? It appears that when I run ones at 15 min granularity that they may prevent ones running later in the day.
Should crons run at same time have impact on one another? (4 Replies)

yum-cron
yum-cron(8)yum-cron(8)NAME
yum-cron - an interface to convieniently call yum from cron
SYNOPSIS
yum-cron [config-file]
DESCRIPTION
yum-cron is an alternate interface to yum that is optimised to be convenient to call from cron. It provides methods to keep repository
metadata up to date, and to check for, download, and apply updates. Rather than accepting many different command line arguments, the dif-
ferent functions of yum-cron can be accessed through config files.
config-file is used to optionally specify the path to the configuration file to use. If it is not given, the default configuration file
will be used. It is useful to be able to specify different configuration files for different use cases. For example, one configuration
file might be set to update the repository metadata, and a line could be added to the crontab to run yum-cron frequently using this file.
Then, another configuration file might be set to install updates, and yum-cron could be run from cron using this file just once each day.
FILES
/etc/yum/yum-cron.conf
/etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf

BUGS
There of course aren't any bugs, but if you find any, you should email
the mailing list, yum@lists.baseurl.org, or consult bugzilla.
