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,

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
