If you run yum-cron, and have yum-merge-conf, then yum will go into an

Previously this was really annoying. Today if filled my disk to 100%.
I guess what's needed is for yum-merge-conf to detect whether the tty is
actually a terminal? Doesn't quite explain the inifinite loop though.

yum-cron is not a part of yum or yum-utils. it is a 3 party package.
yum-merge-conf is a TYPE_INTERACTIVE plugin which means that it could
interact with the user, so if you want to yum from a cron job, you have
to only have TYPE_CORE plugins enabled.
you can use 'yum --disable-plugin=merge-conf -y some action' in you
cronjob to disable the plugin.
