Hi i use RHEL3 on my server, to upgrade all the server package i need to run only? /scripts/sysup /scripts/rpmup or i need to lanch from ssh up2date?
You should login to SSH and run up2date -u and update your kernel as necessary with up2date -uf kernel OR kernel-smp (you may also need to update kernel-utils, kernel-source, etc.)
redhat-release is commonly missed as well. Check your up2date config and ensure you're on the latest update 5 as well. New kernels have been made available to fix some serious issues.
hi i upgrade my kernel from source, so i only need to upgrade my rpm, for this i need to run only up2date -u? this step dont will upgrade also my kernel? ( i dont want) up2date -u will upgrade only the packages that i have install? thank you
If you run the following you will see what would be installed: up2date -l If you want to skip certain modules make sure you have configured your pkgskiplist in: up2date --config You can get lists of apps to skip by searching the forum for pkgskiplist. You'll possibly have to add mod_utils* to that list if you compile your own kernel.
Not always. They only generally update what cPanel itself needs and may not include other apps that your OS needs.
ok thanks, i have look on it but in option 9 i have 9. pkgSkipList ['kernel*', 'spamassassin*', 'httpd*', 'perl', 'mysql*', i dont want kernel upgrade bcs i do it myself from source, also for Mysql and apache if i use this option the server will upgrade to the latest software version? example i use now mysql 4.0.23 if i run up2date i will get the mysql 4.1? thank u
up2date -l The following Packages were marked to be skipped by your configuration: Name Version Rel Reason ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- kernel 2.4.21 32.0.1.ELPkg name/pattern kernel-smp 2.4.21 32.0.1.ELPkg name/pattern kernel-utils 2.4 8.37.12Pkg name/pattern hwdata 0.101.17 1 Config modified redhat-release 3ES 13.5.1Config modified
