    Can I automatically download and install updates with yum? without having to touch my server machine at all?

    To update the system, run
    Code:
    yum update
    You can put this in a cron job to make the system check for updates automatically, but take a look at
    Code:
    man yum
    before - I think you need an additional parameter so that yum doesn't ask questions (like "Do you want to update the folowing packages? ...").
