[misc] automatic reboots of springrts.com at 10 am GMT+1 (when needed)

Post by abma »

the server springrts.com already installs automatic updates. sometimes its required to reboot the machine, i.e. when a new kernel version is installed. I've configured it to do so at 10 am GMT+1 as sometimes some kernel updates weren't installed for months.

Today it happened the first time and as you can see this post, it seems to have worked :)

So, if it silently disappears at ~10 am... thats the automatic reboot.

Better some services failing on reboot as beeing hacked! 8)

More technical:

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades:

Code: Select all

Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot "true";
Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot-Time "10:00";

Since you seem to run APT based distro, why not use live kernel updates?
