Error :Yum is Currently Busy with other Application in Linux
June 18 2014
When you try to install any packages like yum install httpd its shows error like,
“yum is currently busy with other application”
Solution:
Find out yum process ID :
# ps aux | grep yum
root 29519 23.0 1.5 73696 16140 pts/2 Sl+ 06:07 0:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum install packagename
root 29519 23.0 1.5 73696 16140 pts/2 Sl+ 06:07 0:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum install packagename
Yum process ID is 29519 and kill the ID
# kill -9 29519
Another way to kill this process, open the yum.pid file
# vi /var/run/yum.pid
you can delete that pid number from file and unlocked the yum
Now, yum command executes without any troubles.
#yum install httpd
