Auto update should only happen if both $CHECKONLY is set to "no" *and* /var/lock/subsys/yum is a file. if [ $CHECKONLY == "yes" ]; then /usr/bin/yum-check else if [ -f /var/lock/subsys/yum ]; then /usr/bin/yum -R 10 -e 0 -d 0 -y update yum /usr/bin/yum -R 120 -e 0 -d 0 -y update fi fi is how this should read according to that comment. If you set CHECKONLY to "no" you still have to touch /var/lock/subsys/yum to actually have yum autoupdate.
