But there are also people who come from other distributions and/or are
command line oriented. Some just want to edit configuration files with
an editor instead of using YaST.

So then you run YaST from the command line. ;-)

I do that a lot.
I also run zypper a lot :)

And the talk about other distributions does not apply here because, A)
this is AOLS, and secondly we are talking about YaST. :-D

Zypper is also very much applicable here.

That said, YaST does place the file somewhere else then one would do
with crontab. It took me a while to figure out that in order to backup
all your cronjobs, you need to backup not just /etc/cron*, but also
/var/spool/cron/*

YaST places a file called yast2-online-update

in /etc/cron.d

The contents of that file is:

zypper up -t patch --skip-interactive
