The best I can suggest is using the -s command of apt-get. That sortof stands for "simulation". Its lets you try out the apt-get command durring the day without actually executing it. ex: # apt-get install -s postgresql # sudo at 03:00 apt-get install postgresql CTRL-D # You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
