It might not be a bad idea to add a random delay to the
/etc/cron.hourly/yum_checker
/usr/sausalito/handlers/nuonce-solarspeed/yum/yum_checker
file so that it does not try to check at the exact same time as 100's of
other machines.
Possibly you could add a random sleep time like "sleep 15" to change the
file to:
#!/bin/bash
