    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    This is not normally done since you may want different servers at different patch levels for compatibility purposes. This can probably be scripted, assuming you have one VPS that can be updated and then cloned to the other servers. Again, this is assuming that they are identical in configuration. You can certainly set up a local repository so that individual yum updates from the VPS's will not saturate your internet connection, but that's a different (but related) issue.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    Hello,

    They use the same OS template. However, I want to update all VPS servers every 24 hours automatically. Without having to intervene.

    Can you give any guidelines on this?

    Thanks.

    Use cron on each to update via yum, then reboot. A simple script can do this I think.
