I usually run screen in case of a disconnection from the server during 
the update.  You would not want the yum to quit in the middle of an upgrade.

I also pipe the output to 'tee' so that I can save the output to a file 
to go over any .rpmsave and .rpmnew files for changes.

I usually do it this way:
1. run screen.  Don't run yum as an argument to screen or screen will 
quit afterwards.
screen
2. run yum piping the output to tee.
yum upgrade | tee upgrade.log
