Hi, I've posted a similar thread under the newbies forum, but it's not getting many views, possibly because it's the wrong forum. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1940284 it is about enabling automatic upgrades.
I'm a newbie installing 11.04 server on a little machine my small office would like to use as a LAMP staging server for web development.
My problem is that in the Ubuntu Server Guide documentation, where is says to enable automatic upgrades (after configuring with in 50unattended-upgrades) it says to create "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic", but it also says "read /etc/cron.daily/apt for more information", and in /etc/cron.daily/apt it says i should create "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02periodic" to enable automatic updates.
Do I create /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic as per the Ubuntu Server Guide, or /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02periodic as per the /etc/cron.daily/apt script notes?
Kind thank yous, and apologies if i've committed an infraction by posting similar threads to two forums.
