yum was already configured under runlevel 5 so I added it to runlevel 3.

I think I'll remove it on 2nd thought.

Wow. I didn't know you could setup yum to update nightly this way. Kinda
cool how it works. I don't think I have the nerve to turn it on though. I'd
hate to have an update run when I'm not available to fix something if it
were to have a problem. Probability is slight, but still possible.

That's to X's credit. It doesn't use much resources when it'd idling.

It's funny what tricks your mind can play on you. ;)

It's always a good idea to only run what you need though. You might do
# chkconfig --list
to see what else is running that you don't need.
