Re: [SLE] remote use of online update

Hello all,

I have to build an offsite email and DNS server, and in order to service this box, I use SSH. For my own internal network, I use Yast2 / online update GUI to easily do updates. Is there a command line function / name to keep current with SuSE's Yast2 online updates to manage a remote box? All previous remote installs have been with RH, so I am unfamililar with SuSE's termonology for this.

Thanks for any input.

Try # you to configure it. It is text-based (ncurses) so it works over ssh. The only difference i had seen, is that there is no chance to exclude packages from update like in you@yast2 (Taboo). You have to edit a config-file manually really only if you want this, of course. -- Andreas
