Ubuntu flavors update script. AI generated.

Sure, I can help you automate these tasks with a single script for SSH. Here’s a consolidated script that you can use to perform all the steps mentioned:

  1. Create the Update Script and Schedule with Cron
#!/bin/bash

# Create the update script
cat << 'EOF' > /usr/local/bin/auto-update.sh
#!/bin/bash

# Update package list
sudo apt update

# Upgrade all packages
sudo apt -y upgrade

# Optional: Remove unused packages
sudo apt -y autoremove

# Optional: Clean up package cache
sudo apt -y clean
EOF

# Make the script executable
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/auto-update.sh

# Schedule the script with cron
(crontab -l 2>/dev/null; echo "0 2 * * * /usr/local/bin/auto-update.sh > /var/log/auto-update.log 2>&1") | sudo crontab -
  1. Run the Script via SSH

You can run the above script via SSH to automate the entire process. Here’s an example of how to do it:

ssh user@hostname 'bash -s' < path/to/your/script.sh

Replace user@hostname with your SSH username and host, and path/to/your/script.sh with the path to the script you created.

This will ensure that the update script is created, made executable, and scheduled to run every day at 2:00 AM. The log file /var/log/auto-update.log will help you monitor any issues or confirm that updates are being applied as expected.
