Hello List, I am getting familar with CentOS and using Rel 4.6. My goal is to get a automated update *(email)* of system updates. I found the link below in the WIKI. Additionally I have enable "yum" to run as a service int 345 and started it. yum update from the command line works fine-

There are three scripts indicated on the web link below :

** /_I am not sure what to do with the information provided. Can others point me in a direction please_/..

the wiki page is suggesting you CREATE those three scripts.

any script in /etc/cron.daily gets run once a day. that yum.cron script reads the values in /etc/sysconfig/yum-check and either does the updates, or runs the /usr/bin/yum-check script as instructed.
