APT-GET Regular Update Helper Script

Please navigate the wiki via the Page List to the right.

Project Description

This is a simple script to reduce repetitive typing of some apt-get maintenance commands.

The script sequentially invokes:-

apt-get upgrade
apt-get autoclean
apt-get check
apt-get autoremove

For the 'apt-get upgrade' command to have an up to date impact, agmaint should be run soon after an 'apt-get update' has been performed.

agmaint must be run with root privileges.
