Re: apt yum up2date

Err, not much unfortunately. I think the command under apt that you're looking for is 'apt-get update'. Replace dist-upgrade with update, and it'll keep your local list of what's on the repo up to date. For more info:
man apt-get
man mail

Also, the | takes the output of the stuff before it and sends it to what's after the | as STDIN.

For apt:
 /usr/bin/apt-get dist-upgrade | /bin/mail -s "apt-get dist-upgrade on
`hostname`" $EMAIL_ADDRESS
   - replace $EMAIL_ADDRESS with your email address

For yum:
 /usr/bin/yum upgrade | /bin/mail -s "yum upgrade on `hostname`"
$EMAIL_ADDRESS
   - replace $EMAIL_ADDRESS with your email address

Hi all
Is there way I can keep my apt, or yum or up2date sources current
automatically?? Or if a way doesn't exist could a way be devised???

I seem to be unable to use any method to install programs.
I assume it is because the sources have changed???

Thanks
