You may want to look at the yum "shell" option (man yum-shell).
interesting.
would you presume that something like this might run?
yum-shell install < pkg-list.file
Read the man page. What you are suggesting is not how it works.

i read the 'man yum-shell' and that is what brought me to the question.
have you tried "yum-shell install < pkg-list.file" and know for a fact that such will not work?
"shell" is a yum command, invoked as shown below. I don't believe there is any program called "yum-shell" (even though that is the man page reference).
shell Is used to enter the 'yum shell', when a filename is specified the contents of that file is executed in yum shell mode. See yum-shell(8) for more info.
SYNOPSIS yum shell [filename]
The contents of the file need to be standard yum-acceptable lines. I.e., the lines of a package list would need to be edited to include "install " and/or input continuation characters, etc.
