I use the cli version of up2date all the time. Here's what I use just for
manual updating, I do very little automatic updating as I prefer to test
it on one machine the yum it from my own repository.
up2date --nox -l (list the packages that can be updated)
up2date --nox -u (update the packages)
This doesn't include skipped packages (like the kernel) by default, but
you can tell it to do that if you so desire.
