Oracle Linux 6 System Administration — Question 8

What is the purpose of Setting AUTOINSTALL to YES /etc/uptrack.conf?

Answer options

• A. To install Ksplice kernel updates during the reboot of a system
• B. To install updates to the Ksplice software Itself during a system reboot
• C. To enable the uptrack cron job to install Ksplice kernel updates whenever they become available
• D. To enable Ksplice to automatically install the kernel rpm whenever new Ksplice kernel updates become available
• E. To enable Ksplice to install Ksplice kernel updates and new kernel RPMS whenever they become available

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because setting AUTOINSTALL to YES allows Ksplice to automatically install the kernel RPMs when new updates are available. Options A and C refer to Ksplice kernel updates but do not specifically mention the automatic installation of kernel RPMs. Option B is incorrect as it focuses on updating the Ksplice software itself, which is not the primary function of AUTOINSTALL. Option E, while similar, implies a broader scope that includes new kernel RPMs but is less precise than D.
