So is there a way to configure yum and/or yum-updatesd so that I get a GUI notice that updates are available, but then run the actual update when I want from the CLI?
Run 'yum check-update' as a cron job.
And then | tee it >> out to /var/log/yum/check_update.log
or | mail -s "Yum updates available" <youremail>
By default, cron will already email the output. You can set MAILTO at the top of the crontab to control who the emails go to.
