State : Sleeping, pid: 3593但是我这是一个新的虚拟机，而且当前就连接了一个ssh用户，也没有使用yum,
显示是yum在锁定状态中Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid，也知道pid是3593
通过kill干掉他
[root@localhost ~]# kill -9 3593
然后再次检查
[root@localhost ~]#** yum repolist **

**总结：执行命令中遇到问题基本思路：
首先一定学会分析问题，必须有一个清晰的思路。
首先遇到问题不能害怕，
其次不建议直接去上网搜索，搜了好多，很可能还没解决。
再此分享下我的解决思路，如下三步。希望对大家有帮助，当然我也是在不断地学习中。
看提示（终端显示的错误信息，建议执行方法）
查日志（查看系统日志 /var/log/目录下的日志文件，如果是相关服务，请查看服务的日志文件，比如MySQL数据库的日志文件等）
上谷歌（通过网络查看是否有相同或者相似的问题）**yum 提示Existing lock /var/run/yum.pid waiting for
