  My cron.daily is different:
#!/bin/sh

if [ -f /var/lock/subsys/yum ]; then
        /usr/bin/yum -R 120 -e 0 -d 0 -y update yum
        /usr/bin/yum -R 10 -e 0 -d 0 -y shell /etc/yum/yum-daily.yum
fi

  If you don't want yum to be updated daily remove the first line. For it it 
to show the updates yum-daily should then be:

----------------------------------------------
update
ts solve
ts list
exit
----------------------------------------------

  Order an update, solve the dependencies, list them and exit. Nice and clean.

  The yum service only creates /var/lock/subsys/yum and removes it when it 
exits. The logic is quite simple.

  That is a leftover from one of Axel scripts, I have since removed it 
repository from my configuration but the idea is the same, and quite neat 
IMHO. :-)
