Worthless daemon

[Simon Sekidde]

The default version of yum-updatesd does not function reliably. If you 
wish, you can apply updates through a cron job like this

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/yum -R 120 -e 0 -d 0 -y update yum
/usr/bin/yum -R 10 -e 0 -d 0 -y update


Steps

chkconfig yum-updatesd off

touch yum.cron and using an editor include the above lines making it 
executable and then place it in /etc/cron.daily or /etc/cron.weekly

Cheers
