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
