This is the default, so run fou4s --cronserver (or --cronworkstation for 
"cron.daily") to install such a cron job

Add 
fou4s -is 
to your cron job for that (maybe with -q option for less output).

Kernel updates include Pre-Install-Info and are therefore not installed 
(except when using some cryptic option which I have forgot ;)
You have to use interactive mode (--interactive) for kernel updates 
(won't work from cronjob)..
