apt-get question

[Johnny Bubonic]

okay, is there a way to cron apt-get to update the package list and then apply upgrades automatically (say, once a week- every sunday morning at 4am EST)?

from what i understand precursorily, i have to set up something called a pre-seed to answer any of the yes/no prompts as welll...?

a little help?

running debian sarge. it's a server, so no desktop environment. can't afford to waste HDD space ; )

take a look at the program cron-apt then make a file at

etc/cron-apt/action.d/4-install

which has the command

dist-upgrade -y

or without dist if you like
