Sounds like you put that in a cron script, and I don't like that idea. However, this is recommended method, I believe: In the cron script: # apt-get update && apt-get -d -u dist-upgrade Next morning, from a terminal window: # apt-get -u dist-upgrade That'll allow you to decide what you *really* want to do, especially regarding config files. -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ron Johnson, Jr. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA http://members.cox.net/ron.l.johnson | | | | "Fear the Penguin!!" | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
