Hi, all.

I know this has been discussed on here before but I'm struggling to stop 
'yumBackend.py' hogging the CPU & sending the load averages over 2.00.

I've disabled it via the GUI in Software & rebooted but it's still running 
every five minutes.

Is there a way of dealing with this via the cli? This is on Fedora 20.

This is with gnome-shell active and logged into? This is probably spawned by 
pk-offline-update. You can read more about this here:
http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2013/11/18/offline-updates-in-fedora-20/

And to disable it

systemctl disable packagekit-offline-update.service
systemctl stop packagekit-offline-update.service

Of course, you're now going to need to get updates manually some other way

Hi, Chris.

Thanks for that. I actually settled it in the end by disabling it via DConf Editor.

I take it running '# yum update' will still work?

Cheers,

  Phil...
