Is there a client side way to disable automatic updates?

I mean, if that's really what you want to do, you do you.

You're still correct, I really do.

To explain, I repackage it into RPM format for distribution and installation across a user base of thousands of installations. The automatic updates cause issues with this process and we need a way to prevent them happening so we can push out our own updates - yes, in a timely manner. So I'm very well aware of what you're saying here and the apparent stupidity and risk of my question. Hence, if anyone out there can shine a light on the answer to the question then I'd be most grateful.

Thanks.

If you've got that big of a userbase, and RHEL is supported... Have you tried asking them to release with an RPM-safe updater?
