Hi,

I was wondering what the best way is to do an unattended apt-get
update; apt-get upgrade ?

Thanks in advance,

Rudy

1. This should be avoided to prevent problems. Updates should really be monitored.

2. You can run a script (vian cron for instance) to check for updates and to download these updates already so that when you are ready to perform the updates, the files are already downloaded.
For instance:
apt-get update
apt-get --download-only upgrade

You might want to install apt-listbugs too, it lists bugs for the packages you want to install when you are updating them.
