Good !

I used to do that with a little shell doing apt-get update & apt-get upgrade -qy.
But I have noticed that it's not as simple as that: some packages will still need a user interface (despite -qy options) and some will just break (typically each samba upagrade).

So I do agree it's more sensible to run an apt-get dist-upgrade manually on your own time !

Thanks for sharing.
