Sounds like you put that in a cron script, and I don't like that
idea. However, this is recommended method, I believe:
In the cron script:
# apt-get update && apt-get -d -u dist-upgrade
Next morning, from a terminal window:
# apt-get -u dist-upgrade
That'll allow you to decide what you *really* want to do, especially
regarding config files.
