Defect #120
Cron output: This system is receiving updates from Red Hat Subscription Management
0%
Description
In r79 the sync_packages_list() function tosses stdout for the yum check-update command, but not stderr. That makes sense as we would probably want to see real errors, but we really don't care to see that status message every time yum is called.

[issues #120]
Tossing stdout from yum check-update like we have already been doing, but now grepping stderr to toss a verbose status message that we don't care to receive every time email_updates.sh runs.
[issues #120]
Oops; I missed one.
[issues #120]
Fixed syntax error.

History
#1 Updated by Deoren Moor over 3 years ago
I found a tip on StackOverflow that showed how to toss stdout and grep stderr and have implemented that. Once I got past my introducing syntax errors, the changes appear to work great on a RHEL 5 box.
