Schedule Up2Date installation

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.

I agree, this would be usefull. Does anyone know if this is in the V6 beta (I haven't had a chance to play with it yet)?

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.

Would that also reboot if the up2date required a reboot?

Thanks,

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