I started using yum to update my systems as-soon-as 'up2date' was no longer supported. So, I have friends and people I work with asking me for a 'rule of thumb', which I don't know. So, I'm asking the member of this list: What is the 'rule of thumb' for re-booting after the completion of the 'yum -y update' command? How do you know if you should re-boot - if there is a kernel update? Should you reboot based upon what key components have been updated? How do you know what's been updated if you schedule it to run at 2 AM? Do you ever have to re-boot? I don't have a answer to these questions, do you?
