  1. Description:

Up is a tool that automates the update procedure for Debian and Ubuntu based Linux systems.

  1. Installation:

Download the tool either by using git clone or by downloading the zip-file and unzipping the files, then run

./upinst --help

for a list of install options

Note: scripts that are run from the ~/bin directory cannot be prefixed with 'sudo' as the system will fail to find them. Those who intend to run up from a script for cron, anacron or systemd timers should install it using

./upinst --all

This is also the best practice if there are more than one administrator accounts on the machine.

Up is a tool that automates the update procedure for Debian and Ubuntu based Linux systems.

Commands: up = full system update.

Running "up" with no options will update the apt cache and then perform a
full distribution update automatically.

up --clean = full system update with cleanup.

Adding the "--clean" option will invoke the apt commands to search for and
remove locally cached packages that are no longer in the repositories and
remove orphaned packages that are no longer needed by programs.

up --help = shows this help page.
