Brian,
you have a syntax error in the second if. The yum update is being executed every time. Move the fi just before the else to the end.
Make that, a probable, two syntax errors in the second if. The single '=' sign does assignment, a double '==' does string compare.
Plus I think there is a simpler way to control yum, than adding all these scripts that I don't think came in the base install. Modify /etc/yum/yum-updates.conf, which comes in the yum-updatesd package, and `ckconfig yum-updatesd on` #note you probably only want one or the other of either yum-updatesd or the scripts you have.
On some of the systems I run, the run_interval is set ~22000 and do_update is set to no, which achieves near what I think the OP was after. I am not sure if setting emit_via to email or syslog would get the final bit of what the OP was after.
Daniel.
