Here is the release history for HP-UX. Moving away from 10.20 is a good idea since HP dropped support for it on June 30, 2003. But moving to 11.00 now? Note that HP will drop support for 11.00 on Dec 31, 2006. If you hurry, you will have a supported Operating System for 3 weeks or so.

Those K boxes are pretty old too. You don't say which model you have. You might want to look it up on this page. If these boxes are doing anything useful, it might be time to replace them with a more modern PA-Risc 9000. You need to do that soon, the sun is setting on PA-Risc. HP has stated that they won't design another PA Risc CPU... they are moving to Itanium. If you wait too long, you may be faced one day with a broken and unrepairable K box and no supported PA Risc box to replace it.

I don't mean to rain on your parade or anything. But it is better to found out about your support situation now, rather than during a crisis.

NAME

       unattended-upgrade - automatic installation of security (and other) upgrades

SYNOPSIS

       unattended-upgrade [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This program can download and install security upgrades automatically and unattended, taking care to only install packages from the config-
       ured APT source, and checking for dpkg prompts about configuration file changes. All output is logged to /var/log/unattended-ugprades.log.

       This  script  is  the  backend  for  the  APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade  option  and  designed  to  be  run	 from	cron   (e.g.   via
       /etc/cron.daily/apt).

OPTIONS

       unattended-upgrade accepts the following options

       -h, --help
	      help output

       -d, --debug
	      extra debug output into /var/log/unattended-upgrades.log

       --dry-run
	      Just simulate installing updates, do not actually do it

CONFIGURATION

       The  configuration  is done via the apt configuration mechanism, the default configuration file can be found at /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unat-
       tended-upgrades
