This is true; if you use crond, remember to set up a correct PATH= and to
add a MAILTO= to have a list of the update done by yum.
I do that for long time now and it run just fine. If you do the same
manually, you can't know before upgrading a package if this cause problem,
so I found doing that in background an having a list of what is updated a
better solution to the problem.
