Hello,
we're using aum with a valid rules subscription. The documents mention that aum updates the rules automatically. How is this done? Has anything to be done that rules are refreshed every x hours? For now I ran aum -uf (-u did not update the rules after a change in config file) but do I need to put this in cron myself - or is there another mechanism that does the automatic updates?
Thanks in advance,
Sebastian

Re: aum & automatic updates
Yes, its automatic. You dont need to set anything up. By default will check hourly.

Michael, unfortunately something does not work as expected. I installed aum on our Debian 8 instance and everything seems to work, yet the automatic updates don't.
only shows the last update from manually running aum -u.
After running aum -u there's a new file in /var/asl/updates from today.
I redid aum configure, but the updates aren't running every hour. Do I need to put something in cron.hourly for this manually maybe?
Best,
Sebastian
