libev 3.1 (Default branch)

Libev is a high-performance event loop for C (withoptional and separate interfaces for C++ andPerl), featuring support for I/O, timers (relativeand absolute, cron-like ones), signals, processstatus changes, and other types of events. It hasboth a fast native API and libevent emulation tosupport programs written using the libevent API.The libev distribution consists of libevent withthe core event handling parts replaced by thelibev embedded event loop. Differences to libeventinclude higher speed, simpler design, morefeatures, less memory usage, embedability, and noarbitrary limits. libev supports epoll, kqueue,Solaris event ports, poll, and select.License: BSD License (revised)Changes:
ev_async watchers have been implemented, whichallow you to safely wake up event loops fromsignal handlers or other threads. The signal pipeis only initialized on demand (which is onlyrelevant for non-default loops). The actual typefor sig_atomic_t is now configurable. Thedocumentation has been clarified and extended.Image

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
