There's nothing saying that a "Blades Stuff" Emulator could not be done in Yum through a perl interface on the page. Calling it something different of course, and nothing what Mitel does, but something of the same effect. Parse the output of a Yum search and bingo, make the clickable link, yum install pkgname.

That's not an option to you. The "blades stuff" is Mitel proprietary, and in any case depends on infrastructure provided by ServiceLink. As others have suggested, there are a number of existing tools which manage package updates. I've found yum very easy to use. One area where all these tools fall short is in ensuring that services are reconfigured and restarted when required (and only when required). But you don't currently have any automated support for that now anyway - the safety first approach of: # update all RPMs /sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-update /sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot could still apply. -- Charlie Brady [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mitel Networks Corporation http://www.mitel.com/ Phone: +1 (613) 592 5660 or 592 2122 Fax: +1 (613) 592 1175 A: Because we read from top to bottom, left to right.
