    Confirmed, for 3 days I let it run the update.
    Outcome is, not working on my server :/
    Still the update is there when i run yum update.
    How to fix/debug this?

    Looks like running fine the other day: Automatic nightly YUM updates with yum-cron | Centmin Mod Community
    And also, It's running today.
    But how come it didn't update?

    yeah all other crons are running, like my backup script, deferred.php on my XenForo forum is also running via cron.

    Thanks for the instructions. Was just going to look up how to do this and of course George is already on top of it.

    Also, fyi per here: RHEL7: Configure automatic updates. - CertDepot

    "/etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf defines what is done once every hour."

    I have that set to run the security updates every hour. And then notify, but don't download the normal updates once a day. Like Matt, I prefer to minimize updating until I verify what it is, but as a one-man shop, there's too much chance I'll miss something so rather security updates just run unattended.

    using VPS ? make sure VPS host hasn't blocked email sending... vultr and incero/wable are 2 VPS providers who block email sending out by default. The vultr you can contact them to unblock.
