keep fedora up to date using apt
#1

if you want to automate fedora keeping up to date, and you use apt (as in apt-get)

 

then try this (as root)

 



Code:
vi /etc/cron.daily/apt.sh




 

 

then paste the following into the blank file

 



Code:
#!/bin/sh
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y




 

now save the file and make it executable

 



Code:
chmod +x apt.sh




 

to test it try doing this

 



Code:
sh /etc/cron.daily/apt.sh




 

and you'll see something like the following:
