Did u get an error trying that ?
nope -- just the 'zypper refresh', was all that was needed.
Also, if you run kudpdateapplet in KDE it refreshes periodically. And it can be set up YaST too.
I usually am not running a kde desktop on that computer. For the most part I use the command line though I use remote-X for alot of things.
Also, if I may ask, why would you want to run a refresh in cron, unless you're running zypper up in cron too. which isn't a good idea.
Because when I run zypper, if my local cache isn't fairly fresh, then there's a greater chance that what's in the local cache won't match what is on the server, resulting in occasion glitches or errors. When I run zypper interactively, it's because I want to install (or change) packages, not refresh. When you have several repos, auto-refresh is pain in the posterior. -linda -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
