I have a cron job which fires up yum each night and emails the output to the admin. When you run yum interactively the progress bar is handy, when in a batch its just a mess. But the point of a log is to see what happened, so I don't want to suppress it totally. I was trying to find this middle ground where it would report everything but the progress - anyone know the right options please? Here is what I'm getting at the moment:
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Base
Server: Fedora Core 2 - i386 - Released Updates
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers

I will do the following:
[update: gtk2 2.4.13-2.1.i386]
[update: glib2 2.4.7-1.1.i386]
[update: gtk2-devel 2.4.13-2.1.i386]
