RedHat cmd:up2date 

In RedHat, you can also just type in up2date -U… This will download all the relevent erratas and bugfixes for your system and install them in one fell swoop. Kind of like the FreeBSD or Debian, for all us Redhat users…

> Isn't this "subscription only" now days?

Yes, but you can subscribe and use it for free. You can go to https://www.redhat.com/network/ to register for a free RHN account, that lets you use up2date as much as you want on as many systems you want.

What costs is if you want *automatic* installation of updates with RHN on *more than one system* - you can even have automatic installation of updates on one system for free.
