Hi, I'm in the process of making Debian the "suppored" GNU/Linux distro on my network, part of that involves changing default confiles.
In this context I've been kicking around the idea of running apt-get update > /dev/null && apt-get -qq -y upgrade from /etc/cron.daily I'm wondering if anyone else is doing this and what the experience has been. I recently had the glibc update <pre|post>isnt.sh choke because /dev/tty was unconfigure when I did a forked ssh apt-get (ssh -l root -f <host> apt-get -qq -y upgrade). This was on a cluster of sparc systems (all headless), five of 8 went ok over ssh -f, three tanked but worked when I got an interactive session. I'm somewhat concerned that this may happen from cron as well, but these systems will be intel boxen with heads (atleast mostly). -Jon
