unattended-upgrade(8) System Manager's Manual unattended-upgrade(8)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-upgrades.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
