is a daemon that runs in the background and checks for available package updates on a regular basis. It can be configured to send notifications via email when new updates are available.
Here's a general outline of the steps you will need to follow to configure yum-updatesd

yum-updatesd
package. You can use the yum
package manager to install the yum-updatesd
package.yum install yum-updatesd
Edit the /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf
configuration file and set the emit_via

. This will cause yum-updatesd
to send notifications via email when new updates are available.
Edit the /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf
configuration file and set the email_to
option to the email address you want to receive update notifications.
Start the yum-updatesd

command to start the yum-updatesd
