It is called update-agent. It can do almost the same things as apt can do. The
main difference is that you can only get updates from priority.redhat.com,

not sure what you mean by upgrade. Debian offers a unique program called
apt-get which will download and install any package in .deb format.
It also scans for packages which have been updated. It then
downloads and updates them automatically. I haven't seen this in any ot
