Am I correct in thinking that if I disable the yum_updatesd service, and
set a regular cron job to do a "yum update", things can be returned to a
situation where updates are carried out without user intervention, e.g.
on servers where the X window system isn't installed.  (I know that this
won't reboot after kernel updates, etc.)
