Automatic updating not working

I'm using VMWare with my Linux and this is the command i'm using in shell to write the automatic update. trying to find and install the updates but nothing happens or it crashes.

#!/bin/bash
yum update yum
yum check-update
yum update
yum clean packages

What exactly am I doing wrong?

NAME
yum-builddep - install missing dependencies for building an RPM package SYNOPSIS
yum-builddep package DESCRIPTION
yum-builddep is a program which installs the RPMs needed to build the specified package. The source RPM for the specified package must be available in a Yum repository (which will be automatically enabled, if it is disabled) or it can be a local source RPM file. EXAMPLES
Download and install all the RPMs needed to build the kernel RPM: yum-builddep kernel FILES
As yum-builddep uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like which repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details: /etc/yum.conf /etc/yum/repos.d/ /var/cache/yum/ SEE ALSO
yum.conf (5) http://yum.baseurl.org/ AUTHORS
See the Authors file included with this program. BUGS
There are of course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org. To file a bug use http://bugzilla.redhat.com for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs. Panu Matilainen 17 July 2005 yum-builddep(1)
