If you want to get automatic updates, there is a tool designed for that (no need to script by yourself) : cron-apt (which is in Universe). By default, it only downloads and does not install. Be carefull, automatic updates on server can be dangerous ! Cheers, Lionel -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server
