You can also write a little script such as:
-----------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
`/usr/sbin/urpmi.update updates`
`/usr/sbin/urpmi --auto-select --auto | \
/bin/mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -s 'Updatestate'`
-----------------------------------------------------
and run with cron.
You get a little email with the state of your update ;-)
