如何安排 yum-cron 每月在 Centos 上运行，以便每月自动更新服务器

Question

I would like to automate CentOS7 server updates. According to the internet it is possible by installing yum-cron and editing the /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf file. However, I don't see how I can schedule this to run on a monthly basis. I have tried scheduling it in anacrontab, but it does not seem to work(nothing happens). The only time it appears to work is when I add the same settings in the /etc/cron.daily/0yum-daily.cron file, but again not sure on how to get this to run monthly instead of daily. If I need to alter crontab what would be the command to run yum-cron once a month?

Answer 1

You can add settings inside directory /etc/cron.monthly/
