Back in the Fedora docs I found on a google, it mentions that in FC6, the preferred tool for updates was the "new" yum-updatesd. Anyone know: a) what theological reason upstream had to drop it altogether, and b) what's the recommended replacement - is it yum-cron?
I hand-update some servers, and of course users' workstations, but some system, like home directory servers and backup servers are extremely unlikely to break with an autoupdate, so this is of immediate interest.
There is the whole thread on the RepoForge mailing list with so caled solutions:

Oy, as they say, vey.
And I worked on Spacewalk in early '09. AAARRRRGHGHGHGHHGHGHHHH!!!! It went from .3 to .4 while I was trying to implement it, and I think it hit .5 as I left that contract. It was a nightmare to install and configure; I had to tune the free Oracle version to use almost all available memory (it had a max of 1G for the free version), and on, and on.
Sounds as though I might want to roll out something like 5 1 * * * yum -y update
