I am getting /tmp/yum_save_tx.2017-12….. files in /tmp one every hour. What process is making these files ???
I have stopped PackageKit so its not running.
I am running CentOS 7.4. With GNOME desktop. Thanks
Jerry

Probably yum-cron – the default setup for that runs yum through cron hourly and daily.

Ok so I looked for yum in cron and did not find it.
cd /etc
# grep yum cron*
grep: cron.d: Is a directory grep: cron.daily: Is a directory grep: cron.hourly: Is a directory grep: cron.monthly: Is a directory grep: cron.weekly: Is a directory
# grep yum cron*/*
and the files:
ls -lR cron.*

Thoughts? Thanks,

Remember that it could be in the original crontabs located in
/var/spool/cron
You might also look in /var/log/cron to see what’s firing off hourly.
Even though PackageKit was not running – I went ahead and removed that package and it has stopped.
