I want to set up up yum to auto update the system using yum-cron. But my internet connection is very limited and I don't want the update process to hog the tiny bit of internet that is available and make the computer usage for everybody on the network miserable.
How can I set up yum to check and download updates automatically, but only between 2am and 6am?

Well, if it were me, I would set up a cron job (for
root
) that starts at 2am every day. Like so:It's about as KISS as it can get!
