Yum Update Issues for Linux

[Richard Leadbetter]

Hi All

So i have a strange one, when i SSH using putty to a Linux box and run this:

yum --disablerepo "*" --enablerepo "CUSTOMREPO" update

everything works fine, when i use the node executor in Rundeck I get the following error:

 "Error getting repository data for anaconda-ks.cfg, repository not found"

This seems to be unique to the Rundeck executor, am i doing something silly? (most likely i am). 

Any Help would be appreciated.

Hi!

Is the target node user configured in the Rundeck allowed to execute that kind of command? (probably the file is unreadable). You can try with sudo to test with more privileges.

Hi There. 

yes, i am being very naughty and using root for now... (i also threw a sudo at the beginning and still the same issue.. it's really strange)

Thanks

Could you try using the inline script step in your job? (that is a command step right?). Also, you can check your remote node environment from the command page to make sure that you're accessing the right node/files.

That looks to have sorted it.. I'll get on with testing and come back if there are any more issues.

Thanks for the assist on this - you guys rock!!! :)
