Various utility scripts for managing an Ubuntu Linux system

BKs-Ubuntu-Scripts

Scripts for managing Ubuntu Linux system.

update-ubuntu.sh

This script will use apt-get to update and upgrade (update, dist-upgrade, and autoremove) your system. If the system requires a reboot, the script will prompt the user to schedule one and at what time.

If the script is installed on multiple systems, and ssh keys are setup, the main system can be used to initiate updates on all the others. To activate this mode, create a config file name /etc/default/update-ubuntu using the following example:

REBOOT_TIME=4:00

UBUNTU_UPDATE_HOSTS_PASS_01="\
	chambers.mozart.hiwaybk.com \
	localhost:3422#mtcs \
	sullivan.mozart.hiwaybk.com \
"

UBUNTU_UPDATE_HOSTS_PASS_02="\
	prince.mozart.hiwaybk.com \
	manhattan.mozart.hiwaybk.com \
	trinity.mozart.hiwaybk.com \
"

UBUNTU_UPDATE_HOSTS_PASS_03="\
	king.montclair.edu \
"
