[Lightner, Jeff]

yum-cron and PackageKit-cron are both from repository, rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6.

I'm not getting any results for `yum search yum-cron`. I'm also not
getting any results for Jim Kinney's suggestion of "updatesd". What
repositories do you have enabled? I have the default RHEL6 repository
and an RPMforge repo[1].

There are configuration and cron files as well as an init.d it puts in place so you have to do configuration and run chkconfig on the init script to have it running automatically.  I did the install just to look at the files it puts in place but won't be running it.
