4.8 Log File
The Red Hat Update Agent keeps a log of all the actions that it peforms on your system in the
file /var/log/up2date. It uses the standard rotating log method. Thus, older logs are in
/var/log/up2date.1, /var/log/up2date.2, and /var/log/up2date.3. The log
files storeactions performed by the Red Hat Update Agent such as when your RPM database is
opened, when it connects to Red Hat Network to retreive information from your System Profile,
which packages are downloaded, which packages are installed using the Red Hat Update Agent,
and which packages are deleted from your system after installation. If you choose to install and
delete packages yourself, it will not be logged in this file. You will have to keep your own log of
actions not performed with the Red Hat Update Agent.
