Hi Andrew,

No, my habit (good or bad, this can be discussed) is to keep the
service yum-cron running but modify the file(s) :
/etc/yum/yum-cron.conf
/etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf

to say :
[...]
download_updates = yes
apply_updates = no
[...]

This way, the updates can be downloaded and ready to use and I can get
an alert as an option.

Those files were rewritten during the last Perfsonar updates with the
content :
apply_updates = yes

This is on CentOS7 with perfsonar-toolkit-4.1.3-1.el7.noarch
