My company is planning to apply security and OS patches for RHEL 7.2. In the past some of the patches affected my cron jobs hence had to revert the patching.</P><P>We do not want to get into the same situation and try to mitigate the risk .</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Wed, 16 Jan 2019 13:13:09 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/Linux-patches-affecting-SAS/m-p/527698#M15444 ajit_sas 2019-01-16T13:13:09Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/Linux-patches-affecting-SAS/m-p/527810#M15450 <P>If you have a SAS test environment then that would be the best way to check these out.
