Can someone explain what Greg gave as an example?

How do you manage updates ? I mean scheduling, testing, roll back if you need to do so? I've used yum's nightly script that can auto-magically grabs updates.

Different Greg, but: cfengine.

Staying current on what's out there:
---------------------------------------
shellcommands:
   debian.Hr01.Min00_05::
       "/usr/bin/apt-get autoclean"
   debian.Sunday.Hr01.Min00_05::
       "/usr/bin/apt-get update"
---------------------------------------

Then I do the 'apt-get upgrade' on a test box.

Pushing out the "no really, upgrade these" is in a similar fashion
for the piddily upgrades (e.g. mount telnet util-linux), and by hand
for ones that need manipulating/careful watching (e.g. slapd, amd).
