automating updates?

["Robert L. Harris" <Robert.L.Harris@rnd-consulting.com>]

  I currently have a cronjob that does a "apt-get update && apt-get 
-d -y dist-upgrade" to get all the updates local to my box each night.  
Is there a way to tell apt to install any packages that won't require 
human intervention?  aka install anything that doesn't require me to 
choose a keyboard, etc?

  This way if I go a few days without doing my updates I wont miss something
critical hopefully?
 


:wq!
