Hi list,
I have been running an old debian 11 for many days.
is it safe to run 'apt upgrade' and 'apt update' periodically?
for example put them into crontab.
I wouldn't have the upgrade run automatically, because maybe there's a
package you wouldn't want to install, and from cron it would happen without
your oversight.
Now, I see no problem with having it kick off a script that waits for your
approval to install anything. I have a script that does that, except it
installs a maximum of one package per day so things don't change too
rapidly. Over the long term, that's plenty fast enough.
