Schedule Up2Date installation

Markus_Hahn
Is there a way to schedule the installation of the up2date patches which have automatically been downloaded overnight ? Now I can only install them manually which is a bit of a problem if you have to reboot during business hours.
It would help if I could tell ASL to install approved patches during the night.

    No need to write a cronjob. Just type on console (be root):

    sleep 14400; ainstall &> /var/log/myup2date.log

    This would start the installation of all available up2dates in 4 hours and write all loging output to /var/log/myup2date.log.

    Anyway, I would recommend to use the webadmin to install available up2dates.

    cheers

    Would that also reboot if the up2date required a reboot?

    Thanks,

    Thanks for the hint Xeno,
    but the idea is really good.

    I think it would not be a big job to include a scheduler in WebAdmin.
    Advantage: You could schedule Up2Dates to a time where there is low traffic ...
    ... and don't need to sit in front of the system

    On the other hand it's not a bad idea to update manually to check immediately if all systems (Proxys etc.) are still up and running

    it think yes, because reboot is done by the installer script of each up2date package (if necessary).
