What's the group yea/nea feelings, about using a cron job to do an apt
update of apt packages, security, etc? We have a few servers, and I was
asked about setting it up so no need to manually do the apt for updates.
My feeling is not a good idea, just the fact you may want to hold on
updates to them for a few days before adding to see if unforeseen problems
on patches. For now they are all Ubuntu based, but may be going to redhat
and debian systems as well later.
Thanks
Pat
