Re-enable CWP Package Updates

Here, we cover re-enabling the automatic package updates from the command line and CWP Admin.

The CWP software automatically updates within 48 hours of a new release, but by default, CWP does not automate updates for system packages. However, we have configured our CWP servers to run nightly package (yum) updates automatically.

We do not recommend disabling automated updates for security reasons. Still, there may be special cases where you must disable the automatic package update and then re-enable it.
