The SL nightly yum automatic update is in the /etc/cron.daily/ 
directory. (/etc/cron.daily/yum.cron)
By default (according to /etc/crontab) those scripts get run at 4:00am 
(0400).
The default SL yum.cron script waits for a random time between 0 and 180 
minutes.  That is a variable at the beginning of the script.
So, it is going to be ran between 4:00am and 7:00am in the morning.
