A comment on yum-updatesd

[Patrick O'Callaghan]

I just installed the above, thinking it would be useful, but it turns
out it doesn't seem to do the one thing I want it for: update metadata
periodically (without downloading the actual packages). I haven't
altered any of the config defaults, nor any of those in yum.conf, yet
when I use yum after a few hours of inactivity it visits the repos (and
if I do it again it doesn't, so the cache is working).

What am I doing wrong? Or do I misunderstand what y-u-d is all about?
