[Yum-devel] how to make yum non-blocking

Hi.


I'm currently maintaining the Nagios check plugin for yum (check_yum).

An issue is, that even when I just invoke yum to check for available
updates, it already blocks (at worst) infinitely... which is for me of
course undesired.

Can I make it non-blocking.... i.e. that it fails with a special error
code or so... which denotes that another yum process held the lock?



Cheers,
Chris.
