I prefer to use apticron to download updates daily and tell me about them, and then for me to install them manually. The reason why is as others have said: sometimes there are changes to functionality or to config files that I want to be fully aware of. However if you are prepared to have updates automatically applied then there is the unattended-upgrades package, and that is better than never getting around to applying the updates yourself. Either way these are solved problems and don't require making your own custom cron scripts. Thanks, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
