ATrpms has a check4updates script that infoms you (or better said
root) about new updates found via yum and/or apt (it is part of the
atrpms package and configurable via /etc/sysconfig/check4updates).

You still have to do the updates yourself, but you could easily change
the script to do automated upgrades (which I personally would not
recommend), and also change the receiver of the mails.
