今天用yum安装软件时报错：
[root@lvs2 yum.repos.d]# yum -y install ipvsadm

Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security

RHN support will be disabled.

Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running as pid 11986.

Another app is currently holding the yum lock; waiting for it to exit...

The other application is: pirut

解决办法如下：
1。rm -rf /var/run/yum.pid
2./etc/init.d/yum-updatesd stop
问题得到解决！
