Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running as pid 3004. Another app is currently holdin

今天在虚拟机的Cent OS 6上安装redis时，遇到了一个错误，

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit
Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid: another copy is running as pid 3004.
Another app is currently holding the yum lock; waiting for it to exit...
  The other application is: PackageKit

找到了一个解决方案，很简单：
从上面的错误可以看出，是一个应用占用了yum锁，由于yum一次只能有一个应用使用，我们查看：

ps aux|grep yum

输出

[root@192 local]# ps aux|grep yum
root       3007  0.0  1.0 321904 20336 pts/1    T    17:00   0:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum list
root       3029  0.0  1.0 321900 20336 pts/1    T    17:01   0:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum install gcc-c++
root       3032  0.0  0.0 103312   884 pts/1    S+   17:05   0:00 grep yum

可以看到相关应用的pid，使用

kill -9 pid

结束应用就行了。
