I finally decided my crontab entry was good enuf: $ sudo crontab -l [sudo] password for lee: # Edit this file to introduce tasks to be run by cron. ... # min hr dom mon dow command 18 4 * * 1,3,5,7 (apt update >> apt-update.log 2>/dev/null) && (apt list --upgradable 2>/dev/null | egrep -v '^Listing' >| /etc/motd) Regards, Lee
