I think I saw where up2date is going away (perhaps browsing FC5 new and changed items)
"yum update" will ask me if it wants to proceed. I have not seen a way to not have the prompt for Y/N? Is there a way to not prompt and just go ahead and do the update.
Thanks,
Jerry

yum --help or man yum both will tell you the answer. you obviously did not look very hard
yum -y update

The documentation for yum shows a couple options to do this. use -y on the commandline, for an individual run, or set assume-yes in the appropriate config file for always-on. man yum, and/or read http://www.centos.org/docs/4/html/yum/

use -y like: yum update -y yum install [package] -y
man yum and you'll see the option.

If the yum service runs nightly (service yum start) will it automatically over ride the needing to enter "Y" or does the actual yum service need to be configured differently?

The commands in the cron.daily config for the service include the "-y" command-line option. Yum will not issue a confirmation prompt.
