Save the text file and import it into your keyring using the method applicable for your version of RPM.
2.3.5.2. Manual Package Installation
If you chose to download the software updates with the
Red Hat Update Agent
or from the RHN
website, you must install them manually using RPM.
To install them, change to the directory that contains the downloaded packages. The default direc-
tory is
/var/spool/up2date
. Then, type the command
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
. When the packages are
finished installing, you can delete them if you wish. You do not need them anymore.
After installing the packages, you must update your System Profile so that you are not prompted to
download them again. Refer to Section 2.3.5.3
Synchronizing Your System Profile
for details.
2.3.5.3. Synchronizing Your System Profile
If you configured the
Red Hat Update Agent
to install the latest packages, then your System Profile
stored by Red Hat Network will be updated after the packages are installed. However, if you only
download the latest RPM packages using the
Red Hat Update Agent
, download the RPM packages
from the website, or upgrade/install/remove RPM packages yourself, your System Profile will not be
updated automatically. You will need to send your updated System Profile to the RHN Servers.
To synchronize the RPM package list on your local system and on Red Hat Network, run the com-
mand:
up2date -p
After running this command, your RHN System Profile will reflect the latest software versions in-
stalled on your system.
2.3.5.4. Log File
The
Red Hat Update Agent
keeps a log of all the actions that it performs on your system in
the file
/var/log/up2date
. It uses the standard rotating log method. Thus, older logs are in
/var/log/up2date.1
,
/var/log/up2date.2
, and
/var/log/up2date.3
. The log files store
actions performed by the
Red Hat Update Agent
such as when your RPM database is opened,
when it connects to Red Hat Network to retrieve information from your System Profile, which
packages are downloaded, which packages are installed using the
Red Hat Update Agent
, and
which packages are deleted from your system after installation. If you choose to install and delete
packages yourself, it will not be logged in this file. You should keep your own log of actions not
performed with the
Red Hat Update Agent
.
2.4. Configuration
The
Red Hat Update Agent
offers various options to configure its settings.
If you are not running the X Window System or prefer the command line version, skip to Section 2.4.2
Command Line Version
