[LUG] Cron-apt

 

Paul

I had a message on irc that you wanted help on cronapt. As this might be of help to 
others, probably easier if I put it on the web

aptitude install cronapt

Once installed then edit

- /etc/cron-apt/config

  This is largely self explanatory, you need to remove the hash marks '#' from the 
beginning of the appropriate lines. I would suggest using aptitude to install the 
updates rather than apt-get. 

- /etc/cron-apt/action.d/3-download
  
    Please read the man file for apt-get command. The debian installation option is 

    dist-upgrade -d -y -o

    the -d option forces download only. if removed then then cron-apt will install 
the files and depending on the options in the config file will email you what has 
happened

I should be on my computer most of today: contact me on irc if you need any more info
