I am running updates on my ubuntu server through a ssh client. Once the update is running, do I need to keep the ssh session running durring the whole update, or can i exit it out?

Yes, you need to keep the ssh connection unless you use GNU screen, which is highly recommended.

I just keep the ssh session running instead of using screen :)

The updates don't normally take too long so it's not an issue for me :)
