Is there a terminal command to start the update manager?

Is there a terminal command to start the update manager? I use fluxbox and I want to add it to my start up file but I don't know the command.

The command is:

Code:

gksu update-manager

(this is assuming you've installed update-manager of course)

In the terminal you could always run:

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Just

update-manager

should work, then if it needs additional permissions it will ask for an admin password (i.e. yours).
