It was very helpful, thank you. The info you cited seems true for SL5,
though; SL6 appears quite different. In SL6,
root@vm-37-00> rpm -ql yum-autoupdate
/etc/cron.daily/yum-autoupdate
/etc/sysconfig/yum-autoupdate
Whereas yum-cron contains many more config files & etc, has to be
chkconfig'd on, etc.
yum-autoupdate config file has an exclude line in it; yum-cron's doesn't.
So it looks like for simplicity & functionality, yum-autoupdate on SL6
gives what's wanted - can exclude things, get the daily automatic update,
& much less config cruft.
Thank you for your help.
