apt-get update and dist-upgrade as cron job?

[Michael Meding <Michael@Meding.net>]

Hi all,

I made a file called "update" containing apt-get update <cr> apt-get 
dist-upgrade -y in my cron.daily directory and changed it wih chmod +x as 
root.

Ok, now the script is updating my machine when run by hand but not as a cron 
job. Why ?

This is on unstable.

Thanks in advance.

With regards
