yum-updates and high server load issue
Hello,
The process below is running at a random interval on my server and causing very high server load.
[QUOTE]/usr/bin/python -tt /usr/libexec/yum-updatesd-helper --check --dbus
And the server load doesn't come back to normal until I kill the process manually. Output of ps aux|grep yum [QUOTE]root@server1 [~]# ps aux|grep yum root 4575 0.5 0.7 291420 58076 ? SN 00:06 0:02 /usr/bin/python -tt /usr/libexec/yum-updatesd-helper --check --dbus root 10792 0.0 0.0 61220 792 pts/0 S+ 00:12 0:00 grep yum root 32311 0.0 0.1 257476 11744 ? SN 2013 0:15 /usr/bin/python -tt /usr/sbin/yum-updatesd
Can anyone please tell me why it's running and how to fix the problem?

Hello :) Check for any hanging YUM and RPM processes via: ps aux|grep rpm ps aux|grep yum
Kill any of these processes that are no longer active, and then rebuild the RPM database via:mkdir /root/old_rpm_dbs/ mv /var/lib/rpm/__db* /root/old_rpm_dbs/ rpm --rebuilddb
Then, run "yum update" to see if it completes successfully. Thank you.0
