I know this both from running yum manually and because I run it out of cron and /var/log/yum.log shows new updates coming down. My /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf file is identical to yours except for the notifications, which I've tried to switch to email. emit_via = email email_to = danny@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx email_from = root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx But I've never received notifications from yum-updatesd, nor does it appear to ever install any packages. I'll give it one more go -- I've commented out the current cron job on my work desktop and done a service yum-updatesd start and I'll see what happens.
