Hi list, I know that there are automatic update with yum-cron but never

In my experiences I never did automatic backup because if update was broken
my installation will be broken and I wait some time before apply update.
Today seems to be that automatic update are used more than before.
What do you think about automatic update? It is a good practice on a
server? What is your experiences?

Thanks in advance.

For me, yum-cron only downloads the updates and e-mails me to let me know they are ready. It does not actually apply them.

To apply them, I ssh in and run the command "yum update" and they install fast w/o me needing to wait for the download.

That lets me test everything that is critical and make sure it works after the update.
