Tool to help with automatic updates
by SlackCoder from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6KMP6)
Here is some tooling to help those interested in automatically updating their system.
The tooling is in bash and is intended to be simple enough to customize to your preferences. The vanilla setup uses a cron script to pull updates from Slackware and slackbuilds.org (using sbotools), and uses a rc-script to install the updates on boot. Information on pending updates and errors are provided via text files under /var/spool/slack-autoupdate. More advanced users could use cron's integration with email to notify themselves that way.
The current implementation does not support slackware-current. For more information refer to the project's README.
