Default How to Automate System Updates?

I am administrating couple of Red Hat Linux/FC and two Suse Linux boxes.
Every time I have to manually download and update system via rpm command
for all these boxes. Just wondering if any script or command can
automate this task will save lot of time

Sure updating a system can be very repetitive and time consuming if you're
not using scripting to automate it. Try AutoRPM http://www.autorpm.org ; also RHEL has up2date so it can be also used.
