we use "yum check-update" regulary once per day on the admin server to 
check for available security updates in "updates-testing" and report the 
available ones via cron mail

that's prodcution, on developer and admin workstations "yum upgrade" is 
enough

#!/usr/bin/bash
yum_output=`LANG=C; yum --enablerepo=updates-testing -q check-update 
--security 2> /dev/null`
echo $yum_output | xargs | sed 's/ updates//g' | tr -d '\n'
