I want to be able to keep my system up to date with regards to
packages and kernel updates. Ideally, I want to be able to do this by
just sticking some commands in crontab and then not having to worry
about it all again.
# Rpdate the system
1 * * * 1 up2date -u
1 * * * 1 yum update
1) Will placing those commands in the crontab keep the packages up to
date ? Is there anything else I should be doing ?
2) Should i stick that in root cron or user cron ? How do i automate
the sudo if I place them in user crontab ?
3) What should i do about kernel upgrades ? Is there a way to do them
automatically ? Do I need to reboot the system ?
I've had a read off the CentOS docs and they explain how to manually
update the kernel. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot about
automatically doing it though. Perhaps someone here can help me fill
in the blanks.
Thanks,
