[bash] update (ubuntu/backtrack)
« on: March 12, 2012, 06:02:36 pm »
just thought I'd share this with you all, it's just a simple script for updating tools and the kernel for backtrack and Ubuntu not really useful just saves typing :)
Code: (bash) [Select]
#!/bin/bash
echo "Updating, please wait....";
apt-get update; # sync with repo server
apt-get upgrade; # update tools
apt-get dist-upgrade; # upgrade kernel
echo "all done";

I should not prefer doing kernel upgrades using scripts, because sometimes you need user input,     anyone else got some thoughts on this?

Usually Kernel update on Ubuntu with GRUB (I know with GRUB LEGACY, other (newer) don't know) after an update it asks what to do with an "old" menu.lst file. Normally I say to leave it as is and I change it myself...

So yeah, kernel updates ask for user input in some cases.

The script itself only actually invokes the update process after which input is required to complete it

This has nothing to do with ubuntu/backtrack but rather all debian based systems.
if($statement) { unless(!$statement) { // Very sure } }

Written for a ubuntu system, so he will not offer support to other debian based systems, or am i wrong?

I think it will work in any system having apt-get as package manager.
OP: you should also check for changes in grub/lilo menu files. It has happened to me several times that kernel upgrade changes them and 1 or more SO's wont boot.

Yes, that is something worth mentioning, maybe we could release a updater script who works for more package managers, like pacman.

saving typing isn't helpful when you lose power, a good pacman shouldn't need something like this.

also not C, ; not need.

Indeed, a good pacman needs vitamins to munch them ghosts.

someone(i think my dad) used to call those yellow dots bananas, although they look fuck all like bananas. So I always called those big dots(that allow you to fuck the ghouls) big bananas, sounds pretty gay now.
