CENTOS - YUM !

Hello,
use YUM :

-------------

Code:

12.2. yum Commands

yum commands are typically run as yum <command> <package name/s>. 
By default, yum will automatically attempt to check all configured repositories 
to resolve all package dependencies during an installation/upgrade.

The following is a list of the most commonly-used yum commands. 
For a complete list of available yum commands, refer to man yum.

yum install <package name/s>

Used to install the latest version of a package or group of packages. 
If no package matches the specified package name(s), they are assumed to be a shell 
glob, and any matches are then installed.

yum update <package name/s>
Used to update the specified packages to the latest available version. 
If no package name/s are specified, then yum will attempt to update all installed packages.

If the --obsoletes option is used (i.e. yum --obsoletes <package name/s>, yum will process 
obsolete packages. As such, packages that are obsoleted accross updates will be removed and replaced accordingly.

yum check-update
This command allows you to determine whether any updates are available for your installed packages. 
yum returns a list of all package updates from all repositories if any are available.

yum remove <package name/s>
Used to remove specified packages, along with any other packages dependent on the packages being removed.

Regards

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

SEE ALSO

       yum (8)

AUTHORS

       See the Authors file included with this program.

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.
