Updates on shutdown

[shark1997]

How would I change the shutdown script to allow for automatic updates on shutdown? Would i use bash?

Thanks in advance

I think from this post (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185261) you can run a bash script on shutdown as described.

Your script would look something like this:


echo yourpassword | sudo -S apt-get -y update
echo yourpassword | sudo -S apt-get -y dist-upgrade


Someone else will have to help with using sudo in a script without having the password in the file.

echo yourpassword | sudo -S apt-get -y update&&echo yourpassword | sudo -S apt-get -y dist-upgrade

make it a one liner
