Receive Notifications of Updates/Errata — This setting keeps you abreast of all ad-
•
visories pertaining to the system. Anytime an update is produced and released for the
system, a notification is sent via email.
Include system in daily summary report calculations — This setting includes the
•

sioning systems are included in the summary.) These are actions affecting packages,
such as scheduled Errata Updates, system reboots, or failures to check in. In addition to
including the system here, you must choose to receive email notifications in the Your

does not recommend the use of the auto-update feature for production systems because

Network Daemon must be enabled on the systems for this feature to work.
