GENERAL OPTIONS
Most command line options can be set using the configuration file as
well and the descriptions indicate the necessary configuration option
to set.
-d [number] Sets the debugging level to [number] - turns up or
down the amount of things that are printed. Practical
range: 0 - 10
-e [number] Sets the error level to [number] Practical range 0 - 10.
0 means print only critical errors about which you must
be told. 1 means print all errors, even ones that are
not overly important. 1+ means print more errors (if
any) -e 0 is good for cron jobs.
So try "yum -d 0 -e 0 "

I guess I missed that in the "man" listing. I'll let you know when the
next updates occur. Too bad yum can't detect a non-terminal output device
and ... oh well ...
