keep fedora up to date using apt - anyweb - 2005-03-27

if you want to automate fedora keeping up to date, and you use apt (as in apt-get)

then try this (as root)

Code:
vi /etc/cron.daily/apt.sh

then paste the following into the blank file

Code:
#!/bin/sh

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y

now save the file and make it executable

Code:
chmod +x apt.sh

to test it try doing this

Code:
sh /etc/cron.daily/apt.sh

and you'll see something like the following:
