Re: Forcing updates install on shutdown

That is what I do. I have a local repo that I sync. Workstations only have the local repo enabled. After I'm satisfied the updates cause no pain I let the rest update. Now my users never bother to update so I end up going around when their are other issues and update as I go. I just wanted to know

How well does dnf-automatic work? I often rebuild workstations through pxe and kickstart so a bad update is not an issue. On Wed, Sep 19, 2018 at 2:36 PM fred roller wrote: > I whole hardheartedly agree with Rick on this point. That being said, > yes, put the script in the shutdown sequence. I

Re: Forcing updates install on shutdown

I whole hardheartedly agree with Rick on this point. That being said, yes, put the script in the shutdown sequence. Inject it either first or where ever makes the most since. It has been awhile since I messed with this but I think you need to research manipulation of the rc.local directory files.

Forcing updates install on shutdown

Is there a way to have fedora workstation to update on shutdown? When a user logs off or shutdown there box I would like fedora to pkcon update -y or dnf upgrade -y. I thought about creating a systemd unit file to do this but would that conflict with offline update? --Thanks __
