Automated Testing Framework 0.4 (Default branch)
ATF is a collection of libraries and utilities designed to ease unattended application testing in the hands of developers and end users of a specific piece of software. Tests can currently be written in C/C++ or POSIX shell and, contrary to other testing frameworks, ATF tests are installed into the system alongside any other application files. This allows the end user to easily verify that the software behaves correctly on her system. Furthermore, the results of the test suites can be collected into nicely-formatted reports to simplify their visualization and analysis. License: BSD License (original) Changes:
This release adds preliminary documentation on the C++ and shell interfaces to write tests, mainly directed to developers wishing to adopt ATF. It adds a way to specify required architectures and machines for given tests through the require.arch and require.machine properties; if the platform running the tests does not fulfill the requirements, the tests are simply skipped. It adds the ability to limit the maximum time a test case can last through the timeout property, killing tests that get stalled. There are many portability fixes, especially to SunOS, and small improvements all around.Image

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
