You can also issue he command 'yum -y update' from the command line to have the system do a non-interactive update (no need to press Y). Also, if you enable the service it will do nightly YUM updates for you. This is a great feature.

Just thought I'd summarise what the two previous posters said:

To check for and list any available updates, you do

Code:

# yum check-update

...download and install any available updates:

Code:

# yum -y update

...enable the nightly yum update service:

Code:

# chkconfig yum on
# service yum start

(I'm not entirely sure the service invocation is needed)

...read more about yum in the manual pages:

Code:

# man yum
