I have looked in Red Hat's documentation for Red Hat Network and no where do I find the command rhn_check referred to. The output of the up2date -u command is: Retrieving list of all available packages... ########################### Removing installed packages from list of updates... ########################### Removing packaged marked to skip from list... ########################### Getting headers for available packages... ########################### Removing packages with files marked to skip from list... ########################### Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies... ########################### Retrieving selected packages... package package etc. Preparing... install package install package etc. Thanks for the response, Charlie Ashmore -----Original Message----- From: jca...@fu...

When I developed the code, rhn_check would connect to redhat's servers and download any packages that need updating... but maybe that is no longer the case. If you run up2date -u on your system, what is the exact output that it produces? - Jamie |
