The standard yum.cron exclude clause permits multiple lines: ----------------------- exclude = fee fi fo fum foo bar baz ----------------------- The /etc/yum.d/yum.cron.excludes file is not so permissive; the second line causes a sed script around line 151 in /etc/cron.daily/yum.cron to barf. I could fix that with an inline perl script, but I don't know how to conditionally concatenate lines with the tools already in the script, and hate introducing another dependency.
So the easiest thing is, don't use multiple lines in the excludes file! Keith -- Keith Lofstrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice (503)-520-1993 KLIC --- Keith Lofstrom Integrated Circuits --- "Your Ideas in Silicon" Design Contracting in Bipolar and CMOS - Analog, Digital, and Scan ICs
