check_yum fails to run successful

So far, I've only tested this on RHEL 7. Downloaded direct from git only change was to permissions (0644 to 0755). I've attached the full verbose run. Ends with:

I've just pushed a fix, please git pull and try version 0.12.7.

I had to change DEFAULT_TIMEOUT from 30 to 60 on my server but this works now. Thank you!!

[HariSekhon]

Thanks for confirming.

The -t / --timeout switch means you shouldn't need to edit the DEFAULT_TIMEOUT in the code, but it's up to you.
