yum remove Packagekit\*
and all this useless GUI crap is gone

[root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i packagekit
[root@srv-rhsoft:~]$

[root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /etc/cron.daily/check-updates.cron
#!/bin/bash
yum_output=`LANG=C; yum -q check-update`
echo $yum_output | xargs | sed 's/ updates//g' | tr -d '\n'

and voila, if there are updates you get a mail to notify
you what apckages are available and "yum upgrade" is your
friend
