From: b1 on 13 Jun 2010 05:20 Hello all Recently I installed cron-apt in order to perform automatic updates and in order to get the Summary per E-mail. Now I am wondering whether the /etc/cron.daily/apt script becomes obsolete, by installing cron-apt. Can I simply remove the /etc/cron.daily/apt script? Or ist it somehow essential?

Instead see the comments in the file about disabling the automatic update service (assuming you want cron-apt to do the job instead). > > Thanks > > Benedikt Brandt > > -- Liam O'Toole Cork, Ireland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
