Scott, It is already running. Look in the /etc/cron.daily directory, and you should see a yum* script. Basically, it is checking for updates by default. That is to say, as long as you haven't stopped the automatic starting of yum in chkconfig. Do a ps -e |grep yum to confirm that yum is running, and that is all you need to do. If you want yum to clean up on a scheduled bases, then schedule a yum clean all or whatever level of clean you are needing.
