Dear all
I have some computers running Debian. It's more than 3. And it's
4? Or 40000?
consume my time, if I have to run
# apt-get update
then
# apt-get upgrade
manually, if there's new patch/update. Is it possible that I run this
on command with script? Cron maybe? What' the ideal interval? How do I
write the script? Any example?
cron-apt. But tell it to only update and "--download-only upgrade",
because a "real" upgrade might do something that you don't want it
to do, like delete important packages, or not download needed packages.
I download nightly, but update weekly. With downloads happening
automatically in the middle of the night, upgrading one machine per
day shouldn't burden you too much.
