hello again with a debian question. i'd like to be able to have a few machines 'apt-get update' themselves at a random time near/around midnight. how can i go about this with another easy script? tia! -jeff
See my message in debian-user archives with the subject "My local debian archive maintenance scripts" posted on May 12. My scripts don't run apt-get but update my local debian archive each morning when the cron.daily scripts run. You can modify them according to your requirements.
