Yum nor Crom really don't have any method for dealing with it Sigh! As it was sugested already you start your update script with something of that sort #!/bin/bash ..... today=$(date +%Y%m%d) while read banned comment; do [ "$today" = "$banned" ] && exit 0 done < /usr/local/share/my_no_update_day_list ..... # now we are running yum or whatever else .... and what you put on /usr/local/share/my_no_update_day_list is entirely up to you and is really not possible for anybody else to know what particular policies you may desire. BTW - "1,2,3,4,5" above can be also written as "1-5" or "mon-fri" if you prefer. Once again - 'man 5 crontab'. Can we stop all of that now?
