Creating script myrepo that will contain necessary commands like 'su' to switch to root user,
how are you going to pass roots password via script, clear text? Sounds secure.
'createrepo <options>' to refresh repository metadata, 'zypper refresh' to refresh zypper cashe and finally 'zypper update -t package' is probably way easier, or rpm -i <package_name> for single package.
might be better using roots crontab ?
For the purpose, yes it would be better to run as cron job, or for the manual run leave out 'su' and run script as root. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
