hi I;m using centos 6.5 WHM " Server Configuration " Update Preferences shows Daily Updates, Operating System Package Updates, SpamAssassin" Rules Updates should I set all of them to automatic? If I set OS package update to automatic is there any risk involved? I mean if something goes wrong do we have roll back option? or should I leave it as manual update? I know I can update cpanel/WHM manually how can I update OS packages manually? Thanks

  Hello :) You could manually update your OS packages with YUM. EX: yum update
  I don't see anything wrong with configuring automatic package updates, but keep in mind you will still have to run "yum update" manually and then reboot the server whenever a newer kernel is available. Thank you.

  The RELEASE tier is the recommended one You can see more details about "Explanation of the Release Tiers" here [url=http://cpanel.net/system-administrators/server-update-process/]Server Update Process | cPanel, Inc.
