One idea could be to let it auto-update if the list of packages is "short" (that is not a 5.x -> 5.y). It's a bit of a hack and by no means guarantees that all will be well. It could be done roughly like this I suppose: yum list updates | wc -l if above > limit log/tell "big update detected, please update manually" else log/tell "small update detected, applying automatically..." yum -y update /Peter
