On simple cron help about upgares and reboot

[Bojan]

So I found this command:

Code: Select all

0 7 * * 1 apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

What to add to it, that it will reboot after each update?

And one more, what is that -y at the end?

It means that it won't ask you if you want to install upgrade, it'll just do it.
From the man page

-y, --yes, --assume-yes
Automatic yes to prompts. Assume "yes" as answer to all prompts and run non-interactively. If an undesirable situation, such as changing a held package or removing an essential package, occurs then apt-get will abort.
