apt and yum are update utilities that works in command line. up2date-nox also works in command line.

Hello,
Is there any automatic update via command line?

In your crontab, put an entry with the command "yum -y update" and have your yum.conf file properly set and it works flawlessly to do it automatically at times you specify.
The same as would be done at the command line manually.

For FC2 this is redundant. See the standard cron job for yum controlled by chkconfig's flags.
$ chkconfig --list | grep yum yum 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off
To turn it on:
$ chkconfig yum on $ service yum restart

If you want to update your computer automatically , without even having to run the commands , just enable the yum service (under system-config-services or ntsysv) . It places a cronjob on /etc/cron.daily which runs yum , updates everything and sends an e-mail to root saying which packages were updated.
