+Install Security Patches or Updates Automatically on CentOS and RHEL
+============================================================
+
+One of the serious needs of a Linux system is to be kept up to date regularly with the latest security patches or updates available for the corresponding distribution.
+
+In a previous article, we’ve explained how to [configure automatic security update in Debian/Ubuntu][1], in this article we will explain how to set up your CentOS/RHEL 7/6 distribution to auto update essential security packages when needed.
+
+Other Linux distributions in the same families (Fedora or Scientific Linux) can be configured similarly.
+
+### Configure Automatic Security Updates on CentOS/RHEL Systems
+
+On CentOS/RHEL 7/6, you will need to install the following package:
+
+```
+# yum update -y && yum install yum-cron -y
+```
+
+#### Enable Automatic Security Updates on CentOS/RHEL 7
+
+Once the installation is complete, open /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf and locate these lines – you will have to make sure that the values matches those listed here:
+
+```
+update_cmd = security
+update_messages = yes
+download_updates = yes
+apply_updates = yes
+```
+
+The first line indicates that the unattended update command will be:
+
+```
+# yum --security upgrade
+```
+
+whereas the other lines enable notifications and automatic download and installation of security upgrades.
+
+The following lines are also required to indicate that notifications will be sent via email from root@localhost to the same account (again, you may choose another one if you want).
+
+```
+emit_via = email
+email_from = root@localhost
+email_to = root
+```
+
+#### Enable Automatic Security Updates on CentOS/RHEL 6
+
+By default, the cron is configured to download and install all updates immediately, but we can change this behavior in /etc/sysconfig/yum-cron configuration file by modifying these two parameters to `yes`.
+
+```
+# Don't install, just check (valid: yes|no)
+CHECK_ONLY=yes
+# Don't install, just check and download (valid: yes|no)
+# Implies CHECK_ONLY=yes (gotta check first to see what to download)
+DOWNLOAD_ONLY=yes
+```
+
+To enable email notification that about the security package updates, set the MAILTO parameter to a valid mail address.
+
+```
+# by default MAILTO is unset, so crond mails the output by itself
+# example:  MAILTO=root
+MAILTO=admin@tecmint.com
+```
+
+Finally, start and enable the yum-cron service:
+
+```
+------------- On CentOS/RHEL 7 ------------- 
+systemctl start yum-cron
+systemctl enable yum-cron
+------------- On CentOS/RHEL 6 -------------  
+# service yum-cron start
+# chkconfig --level 35 yum-cron on
+```
+
+Congrats! You have successfully set up unattended upgrades on CentOS/RHEL 7/6.
+
+##### Summary
