GENERAL OPTIONS
Most  command  line  options can be set using the configuration file as
well and the descriptions indicate the necessary  configuration option
to set.

-d [number]	Sets  the  debugging  level  to  [number] - turns up or
		down the amount of things that are printed. Practical
		range: 0 - 10
-e [number]	Sets the error level to [number] Practical range 0 - 10.
		0 means print only critical errors about which you must
		be told. 1 means print all errors, even ones that are
		not  overly  important.  1+ means print more errors (if
		any) -e 0 is good for cron jobs.


So try "yum -d 0 -e 0 "
