Here's what I did to schedule automatic updates for Mandrake 10.0. In /etc/cron.daily (or cron.weekly, whatever your desired schedule is) add a script to execute the following commands:
/usr/sbin/urpmi.update --update
/usr/sbin/urpmi --update --auto-select --auto
This updates the RPM database, checks for updates for any installed packages, and automatically installs any new dependencies. If you need to know how to add the script, edit a text file in that folder with vi or some editor to contain the above, and then make it executable by issuing chmod u+x <scriptname>.
Cheers.
