Second thoughts and cleanup,
1)the "yum update" lines in the previous script should have been "yum -Y
update" and "yum -Y -C update"

2)You could use the same script with file flag for all systems, eg.

while test -x nfspath/update-in-progress
do
sleep 600
done
touch nfspath/update-in-progress
yum -Y update
rm nfspath/update-in-progress
