In a production server, I have set up yum-cron to apply the updates for all the packages except the critical ones, that is the eg. kernel, php and so on, in short, the packages to which our web-applications depends on.My configuration in /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf (trunked to show only edited parameters) looks like this: update_cmd = defaultupdate_messages = yesdownload_updates = yesapply_updates = yes# phphil: excluding packages from auto-updates, manual update will not skip themexclude = kernel* php* mysql*emit_via = emailemail_from = yum-cronemail_to = lese@pincopallo.comemail_host = localhostClearly I have configured also postfix in order to make yum-cron send email correctly. Now, what I was expecting from the package, was a notification email every time that packages updates are applied, but including the informations about available updates of excluded packages in order to make me know that I must apply them manually as soon as possible. This is not what is happening currently, that I receive email reporting only applied updates, none informations about skipped packages.Is that possible some how?
yum-cron notifications, inform about available updates of excluded packages
