I am guessing that the last thing the OP needs are kernel updates the happen
in the background (without user intervention) and then require a reboot. I
am not sure a cron job would handle such a job either. I agree, however,
that for servers, need for update could require automation, which leaves the
machine independent and self-maintaining. See command-line SuSE watcher
(susewatcher) and YaST on-line update. They might be scriptable.
