Here is a script I have used to download patdches and to update the yum repository. This is for RHEL 6.4

cd /
reposync -p /mnt --repoid=rhel-x86_64-server-6.4.z -l
echo "patches downloaded" >> /root/Desktop/repoupdate.txt

cd /var/www/html/rhel64/
createrepo .
echo "repo sync" >> /root/Desktop/repoupdate.txt
echo "---------" >> /root/Desktop/repoupdate.txt
