Officially, YaST Online Update (YOU).

The freely-available fou4s is lighter and (probably still) faster.
Much easier on the command line and cron. And it makes it
straight-forward to set up an internal "mirror" of applicable
patches for all hosts on your internal network; without necessarily
mirroring the whole external mirror site.

Just point either at the mirror site and let it rip.

I don't let either install patches automatically. Just update the
list of available/applicable ones and let me know when it's
downloaded.
