I don't know apticron but in cron-apt you should only configure the destination email address and you can leave any other on the default setting. I would not say 'too complicated'.

update tool
Hi, On this page : https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch10.en.html One says : 10.1.2.1 Manually checking which security updates are available Debian does have a specific tool to check if a system needs to be updated but many users will just want to manually check if any security updates are available for their system. As the author tells about apt-get update upgrade in the following lines, I guess it is not the tool he is referring to. So does anyone know what tool he does refer to ? Thank you, -- “One original thought is worth a thousand mindless quotings.” “Le vrai n'est pas plus sûr que le probable.” Diogene Laerce signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
