Hi Henry
Interesting. I have to look into this. If you want to help you can put
in a few "echo something" lines into cron-apt to determine where it
exits.

Hi Henry
It must be so that the aptitude command make the program fail for
some reason.
Please try with apt-get instead of aptitude as command. Apt-get is
much better at
handling non-interactive sessions than aptitude.

Last night I commented out APTCOMMAND=/usr/bin/aptitude and replaced it
with /usr/bin/apt-get
No other changes
Update ran
Upgrade did not: this morning "aptitude full-upgrade" installed new
packages at the command prompt
ie no effect of the change.
