Autorpm is a perl-based script written primary by a fine gentleman named
Kirk Bauer, that you configure and run through cron that goes out and
looks at the RPM mirrors sites and updates, either automagically or
interactively, the packages installed on your system. You can find
information out about it at http://www.kaybee.org/~kirk/linux.html (or
ftp://ftp.kaybee.org/pub/redhat/RPMS/noarch/autorpm-1.9.8.4-2.noarch.rpm)
Check it out, You will need a few additional perl modules installed to
make it work, but it rocks absolutely.
