keep fedora up to date using apt

[anyweb]

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:

 

 

[root@localhost cron.daily]# sh /etc/cron.daily/apt.shGet:1 [/url]http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/3/i386 release [2139B]
