I liked logging into a webpage and updating a dozen servers too. Logging into each box is a pain... Maybe you can hook up with the NRH-up2date project:

My preference for command line and instant, admin run commands on multiple machine has led me to find mrsh a useful tool. It's tasty when combined with yum (or up2date-nox).

It's not been updated in years, but it's a simple and elegant shell script, so it doesn't really need to be. I recommend ssh and aliases. My favorite alias:
$73mrsh -- yum install package
will install the package "package" to all machines listed in the "73mrsh" command alias.
