    [solved] Executing a script after apt-get upgrade

    Hi,

    I would like to execute a script automatically after each apt-get upgrade. Is there an easy way to do that?

    Try doing an apt-get upgrade through a script and call your script other script from current one .

    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    
    # This runs update and upgrade
    sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
    
    # Change into the directory of your script
    cd ~/scripts
    
    # And run it
    ./my_script.sh
    
    # Or run some other command
    dpkg --get-selections | grep firefox
    Then, providing this script is called "after-update.sh", run

    Code:
    chmod +x after-update.sh
    ./after-update.sh
    Cheers
