unattended-upgrade - automatic installation of security (and other) upgrades

Authors

       unattended-upgrade is written by Michael Vogt <mvo@ubuntu.com>

       This manual page was originally written by Michael Vogt <mvo@ubuntu.com>

Configuration

       The  configuration  is  done  via  the apt configuration mechanism. The default configuration file can be
       found at /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades

Description

       This program can download and install security upgrades automatically and unattended, taking care to only
       install  packages  from the configured APT source, and checking for dpkg prompts about configuration file
       changes. All  operations  are  logged  to  /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades.log  and  the
       package manager (dpkg) output is logged to /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades-dpkg.log

       This  script  is  the  backend  for  the  APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade option and designed to be run
       periodically  by  APT's  systemd   service   (apt-daily-upgrade.service)   or   from   cron   (e.g.   via
       /etc/cron.daily/apt).
