Help! My yum update is stuck! Yum has been running for days it seems and
going nowhere. 

[root@server1 ~]# ps aux | grep yum
root     20912  0.0  0.0  5996 1356 ?        S    Oct19   0:00 /bin/bash
/usr/sausalito/handlers/nuonce-solarspeed/yum/yum_update
root     20915  0.0  0.8 30924 21948 ?       S    Oct19   0:08
/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum -y update
root      6478  0.0  0.0  4164  684 pts/0    R+   12:20   0:00 grep yum

The GUI shows "Update in Progress" on the YUM updater page but nothing
else happening.

I could reboot the server but it is a working server and 200 miles away
so don't want to break anything

What to do Blues?

Many thanks

Colin
