Hello, Is the yum-cron package required for a CloudLinux cPanel server, or are all updates automated through WHM?

  Package yum-cron is not required for cPanel servers. cPanel will automatically update packages using cPanel's update script. You can set update preferences for your cPanel server based on your environment/needs. You can find details at : Update Preferences - Documentation - cPanel Documentation Or you can setup auto-update for CloudLinux using yum-updatesd as mentioned in : How Can I setup auto-update for CloudLinux? - Powered by Kayako Help Desk Software

  Hello, No, this package is not required or installed by default with cPanel on CloudLinux or CentOS/RHEL. Thank you.
