Closing this out as CURRENT RELEASE. As of 6.2, there are two ways to achieve this:
1) Configure the host to use yum-cron, so that it checks in on a recurring basis.
2) Utilize remote execution to push out yum update commands on a recurring basis.
Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in product in the forseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
