How ever I have installed cron-apt which has scheduled an update

daily morning 4 o clock,
So does this message mean that it is not getting updated.
From the package description of cron-apt:
[..]
Contains a tool that is run by a cron job at regular intervals. By
default it
just updates the package list and downloads new packages without
installing.
You can instruct it to run anything that you can do with apt-get
(or aptitude).

Ohh thanks its my fault I missed that part.
Thus you possibly need to configure it, to run the updates
automatically - but
I'm not sure if that is a good thing because it could break the
system or you
won't get an updates kernel live as this might require a reboot.
You are correct as I have experienced this in past.
I have a test machine for doing this to see if every thing is
working.
I can try if you suggest any thing on that.So that before I deploy it
on a production machine
I am sure that things are working.
I'm using apt-cron also and I set it to just download the packages and
send me an email if there's something to update. Then I log in and do
the update manually (apt-get upgrade / dist-upgrade).
If you have lots of servers, that wouldn't be practical I guess. But
for 1-2 servers I think it's not a big deal (IF you look at your emails
fairly often, like once a day?).
