I run up2date from the command line. the syntax is /usr/sbin/up2date -u or
/usr/sbin/up2date -i (package name) or
/usr/sbin/up2date -u --force --nosig
Now you may have to update the up2date package first, or install the most
recent addition and some versions dont create the /var/spool/up2date
directory. Not sure why. Just make the directory, and run up2date and it
should work for you.
/usr/sbin/up2date up2date should get you the most recent version. If not,
then go to www.rpmfind.org if you up2date is fairly old

As far as I know, you can only run up2date from an X session. Yes, you can
pass certain options to the command but it will still rely on X to display.
