As I mentioned in an old comment, I use cron-apt
to keep my Debian servers fresh.
This post is just a quick reminder to my future self, about how I setup cron-apt
on my machines.
First we install the package:
$ aptitude install cron-apt
Then we configure it:
$ sed -i 's/# MAILON="error"/MAILON="always"/g' /etc/cron-apt/config
$ sed -i 's/# MAILTO="root"/MAILTO="[email protected]"/g' /etc/cron-apt/config
That’s it!
