Re: Disable auto updates manager on Centos

Gerard,

I think Conor has nailed it, its PackageKit. If you have no intention of
using it, then a quick yum remove PackageKit will solve your problem.
Alternatively, systemctl stop packagekitd will stop the service.

Let us know how you get on.

Regards,
Andrew
