在 RHEL/CentOS 系统上使用 YUM history 命令回滚升级操作

作者： 2daygeek
译者： LCTT DarkSun

为服务器打补丁是 Linux 系统管理员的一项重要任务，为的是让系统更加稳定，性能更加优化。厂商经常会发布一些安全/高危的补丁包，相关软件需要升级以防范潜在的安全风险。

Yum （Yellowdog Update Modified）是 CentOS 和 RedHat 系统上用的 RPM 包管理工具，yum history 命令允许系统管理员将系统回滚到上一个状态，但由于某些限制，回滚不是在所有情况下都能成功，有时 yum 命令可能什么都不做，有时可能会删掉一些其他的包。

我建议你在升级之前还是要做一个完整的系统备份，而 yum history 并不能用来替代系统备份的。系统备份能让你将系统还原到任意时候的节点状态。

某些情况下，安装的应用程序在升级了补丁之后不能正常工作或者出现一些错误（可能是由于库不兼容或者软件包升级导致的），那该怎么办呢？

与应用开发团队沟通，并找出导致库和软件包的问题所在，然后使用 yum history 命令进行回滚。

回滚 / 降级注意事项：

它不支持回滚 selinux，selinux-policy-*，kernel，glibc （以及依赖 glibc 的包，比如 gcc）。
不建议将系统降级到更低的版本（比如 CentOS 6.9 降到 CentOS 6.8），这会导致系统处于不稳定的状态

让我们先来看看系统上有哪些包可以升级，然后挑选出一些包来做实验。

验证升级后的 git 版本.

# yum list git

或
# rpm -q git

现在我们成功升级这个软件包，可以对它进行回滚了。步骤如下。

使用 YUM history 命令回滚升级操作

首先，使用下面命令获取 yum 操作的 id。下面的输出很清晰地列出了所有需要的信息，例如操作 id、谁做的这个操作（用户名）、操作日期和时间、操作的动作（安装还是升级）、操作影响的包数量。

# yum history
或
# yum history list all

上面命令显示有两个包受到了影响，因为 git 还升级了它的依赖包 perl-Git。运行下面命令来查看关于操作的详细信息。

回滚后，使用下面命令来检查降级包的版本。

# yum list git
或
# rpm -q git

使用YUM downgrade 命令回滚升级

此外，我们也可以使用 YUM downgrade 命令回滚升级。

注意：你也需要降级依赖包，否则它会删掉当前版本的依赖包而不是对依赖包做降级，因为 downgrade 命令无法处理依赖关系。

至于 Fedora 用户

命令是一样的，只需要将包管理器名称从 yum 改成 dnf 就行了。

# dnf list git
# dnf history
# dnf history info
# dnf history undo
# dnf list git
# dnf downgrade git-1.7.1-8.el6 perl-Git-1.7.1-8.el6

How to display Date and Time in history command

如何在历史记录命令中显示日期和时间

January 20, 2020

We all are familiar with the history command. It stores all the commands executed by bash in the terminal into the .bash_history file, which helps us recheck the previously executed commands for further investigation.

我们都熟悉 history 命令。它将 bash 在终端执行的所有命令存储到 .bash_history 文件中，这将有助于我们重新检查用户之前执行的命令以进行进一步调查。

By default, the history command shows only the commands executed by users and does not print the date and time, although it logs the time when the command was run.

默认情况下，history 命令仅显示用户执行的命令，不会打印日期和时间，但会记录命令运行的时间。

Whenever you run the history command, it looks for an environment variable called HISTTIMEFORMAT, which tells it how to format the date and time with the history command.

每当你运行 history 命令时，它会寻找一个名为 HISTTIMEFORMAT 的环境变量，该变量用于指定如何在 history 命令中格式化日期和时间。

If the value is null or not set, it will show default results, like most systems do (without date and time).

如果该值为空或未设置，则会显示默认结果，就像大多数系统一样（不显示日期和时间）。

HISTTIMEFORMAT takes values from strftime (strftime – convert date and time to a string). When you have date and time in the history command output, it might help you track issues more easily.

HISTTIMEFORMAT 从 strftime（strftime — 将日期和时间转换为字符串）中获取值。当 history 命令的输出中包含日期和时间时，它可以帮助你更轻松地跟踪问题。

%T: Replaced by the time (%H:%M:%S).
%T：替换为时间（%H:%M:%S）。
%F: Equivalent to %Y-%m-%d (the ISO 8601:2000 standard date format).
%F：相当于 %Y-%m-%d（ISO 8601:2000 标准日期格式）。

See below for the default history command output.

请参阅下面的默认 history 命令输出。

# history1  yum install -y mysql-server mysql-client2  service mysqld start3  sysdig proc.name=sshd4  sysdig -c topprocs_net5  sysdig proc.name=sshd6  sysdig proc.name=sshd | more7  sysdig fd.name=/var/log/auth.log | more8  sysdig fd.name=/var/log/mysqld.log9  sysdig -cl10  sysdig -i httplog11  sysdig -i proc_exec_time12  sysdig -i topprocs_cpu13  sysdig -c topprocs_cpu14  sysdig -c tracers_2_statsd15  sysdig -c topfiles_bytes16  sysdig -c topprocs_cpu17  sysdig -c topprocs_cpu "fd.name contains sshd"18  sysdig -c topprocs_cpu "proc.name contains sshd"19  csysdig20  sysdig -c topprocs_cpu21  rpm --import https://s3.amazonaws.com/download.draios.com/DRAIOS-GPG-KEY.public22  curl -s -o /etc/yum.repos.d/draios.repo http://download.draios.com/stable/rpm/draios.repo23  yum install -y epel-release24  yum update25  yum makecache26  yum -y install kernel-devel-$(uname -r)27  yum -y install sysdig28  sysdig29  yum install httpd mysql30  service httpd start

We can set this environment variable in three ways based on our requirements.

我们可以根据需求以三种方式设置这个环境变量。

Temporarily for the current user
临时对当前用户生效
Permanently for the current user or another user
永久对当前用户或其他用户生效
Permanently for all users
永久对所有用户生效

Note: Don’t forget to add a space before the last single quote, otherwise the output will be messy.

注意：不要忘记在最后一个单引号之前添加空格，否则输出会很混乱。

Method 1: Temporarily for the Current User

方法 1：临时对当前用户生效

Run the following command to set the HISTTIMEFORMAT variable temporarily for the current user. This setting will be lost after a reboot.

执行以下命令，将 HISTTIMEFORMAT 变量临时设置为当前用户。重启后该设置将失效。

# export HISTTIMEFORMAT='%F %T '

Method 2: Permanently for the Current User

方法 2：永久对当前用户生效

Append the following HISTTIMEFORMAT variable to the .bashrc or .bash_profile file to make it permanent for the current user.

将以下 HISTTIMEFORMAT 变量追加到 .bashrc 或 .bash_profile 文件中，使其对当前用户永久生效。

# echo 'HISTTIMEFORMAT="%F %T "' >> ~/.bashrc

# echo 'HISTTIMEFORMAT="%F %T "' >> ~/.bash_profile

Run the following command to apply the changes made to the file.

运行以下命令以使文件中的更改生效。

# source ~/.bashrc

# source ~/.bash_profile

Method 3: Permanently for All Users

方法 3：永久对所有用户生效

Append the following HISTTIMEFORMAT variable to the /etc/profile file to make it permanent for all users.

将以下 HISTTIMEFORMAT 变量追加到 /etc/profile 文件中，使其对所有用户永久生效。

# echo 'HISTTIMEFORMAT="%F %T "' >> /etc/profile
