yum-shell

yum(8)																	    yum(8)

NAME

       yum - Yellowdog Updater Modified shell

SYNOPSIS

       yum shell [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       yum includes an interactive shell for conducting multiple commands or sets of commands during a single execution of yum. These commands can
       be issued manually or passed to yum from a file. The commands are much the same as the normal yum command line options. See here yum(8) for
       that information. There are a few additional commands documented below.

       config
		 [argument] [value]
		 args: debuglevel, errorlevel, obsoletes, gpgcheck, assumeyes, exclude
		   If no value is given it prints the current value.
		   If value is given it sets that value.

       repo
		 [argument] [option]
		   list: lists repositories and their status
		   enable: enable repositories. option = repository id
		   disable: disable repositories. option = repository id

       transaction
		 [argument]
		   list: lists the contents of the transaction
		   reset: reset (zero-out) the transaction
		   solve: run the dependency solver on the transaction
		   run: run the transaction

Examples
       The following are examples of using the yum shell.

	       list available packagename*
	       groupinfo 'Some Group'
	       install foo
	       remove bar
	       update baz
	       run

	      That  will  list	available packages matching the glob 'packagename*'.  It will return information on the group 'Some Group' It will
	      then queue the following commands into  the transaction: install foo, remove bar, update baz. Then the 'run'  command  will  resolve
	      dependencies for the transaction commands and run the transaction.
