How will the automatic updating work with screen session based linux servers?
Currently we have the servers recycle every 10 mins when no users are present. When an update is released the linux servers will auto update and come back up without dropping the screen session or admin intervention. Scripting the actual upgrade process is quite easy but will it be possible for this to be fully automated?
