NAME
       yum-cron - an interface to convieniently call yum from cron


SYNOPSIS
       yum-cron [config-file]


DESCRIPTION
       yum-cron  is an alternate interface to yum that is optimised to be convenient to call from
       cron.  It provides methods to keep repository metadata up to date, and to check for, down-
       load, and apply updates.  Rather than accepting many different command line arguments, the
       different functions of yum-cron can be accessed through config files.

       config-file is used to optionally specify the path to the configuration file to  use.   If
       it  is not given, the default configuration file will be used.  It is useful to be able to
       specify different configuration files for different use cases.  For example, one  configu-
       ration  file  might be set to update the repository metadata, and a line could be added to
       the crontab to run yum-cron frequently using this file.  Then, another configuration  file
       might  be set to install updates, and yum-cron could be run from cron using this file just
       once each day.
