Question about update notifications CentOS 4.6

["sgoldman" <user=143@nabble.blu.org>]

 Hello List, 
     I am getting familar with CentOS and using Rel 4.6. My goal is to get a automated update *(email)* of system updates. 
I found the link below in the WIKI. Additionally I have enable "yum" to run as a service int 345 and started it. 
yum update from the command line works fine- 

    There are three scripts indicated on the web link below : 

http://wiki.centos.org/YumCheckOrInstallUpdates

usr/bin/yum-check            ( not on the machine) 
    
/etc/cron.daily/yum.cron:  ( not on the machine) 

there a is file named yum.cron at this location- 

[root@bmc-4 cron.daily]# cat yum.cron 
#!/bin/sh 

if [ -f /srv/lock/subsys/yum ]; then 
        /usr/bin/yum -R 120 -e 0 -d 0 -y update yum 
        /usr/bin/yum -R 10 -e 0 -d 0 -y shell /etc/yum/yum-daily.yum 
fi 

etc/sysconfig/yum-check:  (not on the machine) 


I am not sure what to do with the information provided. Can others point me in a direction please.. 
  
The documentation is not clear. 

Thanks, 

Stephen
