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.

Clearing DNS cache on vCenter Server Appliance

  Clearing DNS cache on vCenter Server Appliance 6.5/6.7 - Just Virtualise It (kanecharles.com) I came across a situation recently where I was building some nested ESXi hosts and had configured the incorrect IP address for their DNS record, only to realize this after attempting to add the host into Center:  By attempting to add the host, vCenter will query your DNS servers for the IP address associated with the FQDN you have supplied (assuming you did this method, not via IP address). If you have set the wrong IP on your DNS server for the above FQDN record, you have 2 options: Wait a short while for vCenter to clear the cache entry for this FQDN, thus allowing you to add the host with the correct IP from the DNS record Clear the DNS cache on your vCenter Server Appliance (vCSA) vCSA 6.5 upwards runs on Photon OS with dnsmasq acting as a local caching nameserver (thank you to Brandon for the comment to clarify). Enough rambling, so how do we do it? If you’re anything like...
