One thing I don;t know is how to get it to check/download at the same time every day (in the middle of the night !) unless I were to set the interval to exactly 24 hours and then get yum-updatesd to restart at say 3am. Maybe this is the way but is there a more efficient way to do it I wonder? For my main machine I would rather have it doing updates overnight than more frequently.
Now would be the right time to consult the man page # man yum-updatesd.conf. There is a lot of customizations possible. Rahul
