MandrakeUpdate from console

[Guest SeanTobin]

Is there a way to install security (or other) updates from a console (or a cron entry). I rarely have physical access to my server and do most everything through ssh. I've been vncing to the server to install updates, and I've been trying to figure out if there is an easier way.

Look at line 3.7 ( bottom of page ) here:

Thanks for the info. Now if only --auto-select were documented in the man or --help entry....

you could probably do a google search for urpmi howto or something similar. basically what you wanna do is urpmi.addmedia -a, then urpmi --auto-select.
