When this happens you should run: yum-complete-transaction
Interesting toy! I think you mentioned it at Fudcon Boston and I hadn't been able to recall the right name.
Thinking of using it in the use case of the school server (very unreliable power, no sysadmins available, 100% unattended updates) -
- Is it safe to run at boot time via an init script?
as long as the network is up, it should be.
I assume you mean "as long as the server has an Internet connection to the yum repositories" ? Or did you mean "as long as the networking subsystem is up" ?
This may be a show stopper for us, as plenty of servers won't have a reliable network connection to the Internet.
Then you have the yum-complete-transaction be called if and only if the internet connection is working.
