    I mean i configure it at 00:30 to run every hour by editing the /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf and not set it to run at 00:30 if i confuse you....

    Ok this is what i did just to get a notification for updates on every hour check without downloading/installing anything:

    Code:
    yum -y install yum-cron
systemctl enable yum-cron.service
/bin/systemctl start  yum-cron.service
    nano /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf

    Code:
    update_messages = yes
download_updates = no
apply_updates = no
system_name = Server5
emit_via = email
email_to = myemail@gmail.com

    /bin/systemctl restart yum-cron.service

    Yes i think also that is not running :(

    Is there any other way to check that is running ?

    I just test sending mail from ssh to be sure that there is no problem with my vps and is sending fine.

    tail cron log for cron.hourly
    Code:
     tail -500 /var/log/cron | grep '\/etc\/cron.hourly'
Sep 28 11:01:01 centos7 CROND[30939]: (root) CMD (run-parts /etc/cron.hourly)
Sep 28 11:01:01 centos7 run-parts(/etc/cron.hourly)[30939]: starting 0anacron
Sep 28 11:01:01 centos7 run-parts(/etc/cron.hourly)[30948]: finished 0anacron
Sep 28 11:01:01 centos7 run-parts(/etc/cron.hourly)[30939]: starting 0yum-hourly.cron
Sep 28 11:01:23 centos7 run-parts(/etc/cron.hourly)[30982]: finished 0yum-hourly.cron
    then check if finished for 0yum-hourly.cron which is /etc/cron.hourly/0yum-hourly.cron
    Code:
    #!/bin/bash

# Only run if this flag is set. The flag is created by the yum-cron init
# script when the service is started -- this allows one to use chkconfig and
# the standard "service stop|start" commands to enable or disable yum-cron.
if [[ ! -f /var/lock/subsys/yum-cron ]]; then
  exit 0
fi

# Action!
exec /usr/sbin/yum-cron /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf
    that runs
    Code:
    exec /usr/sbin/yum-cron /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf
    of course if you have no updates = no notifications

    and there are updates:

    because of random_sleep setting
    Code:
    # Maximum amout of time to randomly sleep, in minutes.  The program
# will sleep for a random amount of time between 0 and random_sleep
# minutes before running.  This is useful for e.g. staggering the
# times that multiple systems will access update servers.  If
# random_sleep is 0 or negative, the program will run immediately.
random_sleep = 15
