Create file yum_update.sh
vi /etc/cron.daily/yum_update.sh
With following content
#!/bin/bash /usr/bin/yum -y -R 120 -d 0 -e 0 update yum /usr/bin/yum -y -R 10 -e 0 -d 0 update
-e 0 -d 0 are to only show critical errors.
-R adds random delay between command execution.
Make it executable
chmod 755 /etc/cron.daily/yum_update.sh

When i run yum update i get error
[root@server12 ~]# yum update ..... ..... some text removed ..... ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve: fipscheck conflicts with fipscheck-lib-1.2.0-1.el5.x86_64 Complete! (1, ['Please report this error in bugzilla']) [root@server12 ~]#
This is caused by both 32 and 64 bit version installed.
[root@server12 ~]# rpm -qa fipscheck fipscheck-1.0.3-1.el5 fipscheck-1.0.3-1.el5 [root@server12 ~]#
I got the error fixed by
yum remove fipscheck
This will also remove package “nss_ldap”.

When i run
yum update

syslinux is not useful on servers, so this can be fixed by editing /etc/yum.conf
vi /etc/yum.conf
In the line exclude =, at the end add syslinux*
In this cause, installation is from “rpmforge” repo, it is not used, so i removed rpmforge repository
