That is a bit of a complex question. From the SL side I can point you

I noticed that apply_updates in /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf is set to No on
a centos 7 system while it is set to Yes on SL7x.
Is there any reason not to set to yes for centos? I have cron job
that emails the user assigned to the desktop to reboot their machine
when updates have been installed. With apply_updates set to No, the
job fails to detect the install with 'yum history'. I can fix this but
I was wondering if there is some reason why I shouldn't configure the
daily yum cron the same way, ie, apply_updates=yes.
Thanks.
