Hi Roy,
Thanks for your helpful comment.
My problem here is that, apt-daily.timer invoke apt-daily.servcie which
depends on /usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily, apt.systemd.daily will do its
job according to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades and
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades.
It's a dilemma because if I want to make apt-daily.timer function, I
have to make the underlying /usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily function
normally, which means I have duplicate schedules, one is
apt-daily.timer, and the other is the underling apt.systemd.daily.
My aim is to disable apt.systemd.daily but to keep apt-daily.timer function.
Seems the only way is to copy and customize a newly
/usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily

Hi Mian,
As per systemd.timer(7) you can change the timer to whatever frequency
you would
like. The following should make update/upgrade happen monthly.
OnCalendar=*-*-05 00:00
Probably you should disable apt-daily.timer all together and create a
new one
named apt-monthly.timer so that your changes are not overridden by future
upgrades. Also, you have to create a apt-monthly.service accordingly.
Modifications to `/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic` should still be
needed if
you would like to go fully unattended.
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "1";
Still `/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades` controls the
packages you
would like to upgrade.

Roy

Hi systemd experts here:
I'd like any advice/clue regarding scheduling apt automatic
update/upgrade
and the possibility of bellow request:
The current largest interval between 2 scheduled update/upgrade
is "every
two weeks", is it possible to set the schedule to be monthly? for
example, make
apt automatic update/upgrade only happen once on the 5th of each month?
Seems I can use systemd and apt-daily.timer to let apt automatic
update/
upgrade happen multiple times each day, but apt-daily.timer cannot
override the
daily apt update/upgrade with a less frequency such as once per month.

Mian
