I use the YaST Automatic Online Update and I like it a lot. Using it gets me all the updates as soon as they are released and I don't even have to install them. However, sometimes it would be nice to know what changed last night. Can I set up a log file that just watches for YOU updates and nothing else? A romp thru the admin manual was no help. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Don Henson

Don Henson Try: rpm -qa --last | less Which gives a quick list of all installed rpm packages in reverse chronological order with a time of install. Probably doesn't cover the small

I used that on 8.2 for some time. All of sudden some things begin to fail, missing libraries etc. Mark my words Don, you will come to regret using that thing blindly. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

YOU was working great on my 8.2 for the longest time until recently it updated the kernel, modified files in /boot but did not install /boot/initrd as well as other problems. Result is I could not reboot and had to restore my system.

Sounds like a job for grep! locate the lines in /var/log/messages by hand, identify a unique identifier on the lines, build small sh file which executes grep <uniqueidentifer> /var/log/messages Jerry On Tue, 2004-05-25 at 22:08, Donald D Henson wrote:

The YOU log is not exactly what I was looking for but it'll do. Thanks. Don Henson
