Disable operating system updates

OS updates may interfere with the application so it is strongly recommended to disable automatic updates, and to decline any offered package upgrades. To disable automatic updates, in a terminal, as root:

• On Red Hat Linux:

  chkconfig rhnsd off
  chkconfig yum-updatesd off
  /etc/init.d/rhnsd stop
  /etc/init.d/yum-updatesd stop

• On CentOS

  chkconfig yum-updatesd off
  /etc/init.d/yum-updatesd stop
