A Script to Update Linux on boot
 
So i want to create a script that updates Kubuntu on boot.
So far i got:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
sudo -u root sudo apt-get update && sudo -u root apt-get upgrade
Hope this looks good, if it does my next question is... Do i drop this script in /etc/init.d/ ? If not where? Thanks for your help guys.

Hi,

From this site, it seems that you can just add your script to /etc/rc.local, without removing the exit 0 in the end.

I got it! rc.local starts before kde is opperational. So i figured there must be some script i can use after KDE ititializes found it in /home/user/.kde/Autostart/. Put my auto update script there
Code:
!/bin/sh -e
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && kdialog --msgbox "Linux Update Successful"
exit 0
-y for yes prompt i think.

I wish there was a way to inform me if it didnt work

Kubuntu doesn't have something that already checks for updates at starup? i'm sure it does.
