Upgrading Fedora 28 Workstation to Fedora 29




 




Using the command line



This method is the recommended and supported way to upgrade from Fedora 28to Fedora 29. Using this plugin will make your upgrade to Fedora 29 simple and easy.



 



1. Update software and back up your system



Before you do anything, you will want to make sure you have the latest software for Fedora 28 before beginning the upgrade process. To update your software, use GNOME Software or enter the following command in a terminal.



Code:
sudo dnf upgrade --refresh




Additionally, make sure you back up your system before proceeding. 



 



2. Install the DNF plugin



 



Code:
sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade




3. Start the update with DNF



Now that your system is up-to-date, backed up, and you have the DNF plugin installed, you can begin the upgrade by using the following command in a terminal:



 



Code:
sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=29



 





This command will begin downloading all of the upgrades for your machine locally to prepare for the upgrade. If you have issues when upgrading because of packages without updates, broken dependencies, or retired packages, add the ‐‐allowerasing flag when typing the above command. This will allow DNF to remove packages that may be blocking your system upgrade.



 



4. Reboot and upgrade



Once the previous command finishes downloading all of the upgrades, your system will be ready for rebooting. To boot your system into the upgrade process, type the following command in a terminal:



 



Code:
sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot




Your system will restart after this. Many releases ago, the fedup tool would create a new option on the kernel selection / boot screen. With the dnf-plugin-system-upgrade package, your system reboots into the current kernel installed for Fedora 29; this is normal. Shortly after the kernel selection screen, your system begins the upgrade process.



 



Now might be a good time for a coffee break! Once it finishes, your system will restart and you’ll be able to log in to your newly upgraded Fedora 29 system.

If you wondering where YUM has gone, they have replaced with DNF. it works pretty the same as yum. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF?rd=Dnf

 

Syntax

old: 

Code:
yum install <package>

new:

Code:
dnf install <package>

You will still need to use sudoers to execute this command.

I need to check service statuses of linux from Nagios Monitoring tool.

 

Is there any plugin to check service statuses of linux?

 

I wrote one shell script for this:

 



Code:
#!/bin/sh
host="$1"
service="$2"
t=`/etc/init.d/$service status`
if echo "$t" |grep -q running; then
echo "OK - $service service is running."
exit 0
else
echo "Critical - $service service is stopped."
exit 2
fi




 

But it is working from terminal. But it is not working from nagios. Actually for example `/etc/init.d/acpid status` is not executing when nagios calling.

 

how do I make it to execute correct? or Is there any way to get needed result?

 

Please help!
