You can just put "yum upgrade" in cron if you dare, I personally like to wait
see if this list or BZ report problems. Only urgent bug fixes go in fast.
Note: some upgrades require a reboot, I don't know how you tell doing it this
way, and if you reboot every time and you hit a fails to boot the machine is dead.
You may want to consider remote administration as an alternative, this is
something I might do on RHEL but not on Fedora.
