NAME

tix-autoupgrade — daemon for automated operating system upgrades

SYNOPSIS

tix-autoupgrade

[-C collection] [--interval=interval] [--now] [--once] [--options=options] [--no-reboot] [--reboot] [--reboot-time=when]

DESCRIPTION

tix-autoupgrade is a daemon that does an automated and unattended operating system upgrade(7) by running tix-upgrade(8). The upgrade will be scheduled for the next boot. tix-autoupgrade is configured in collection.conf(5). The specified collection is upgraded, defaulting to the root directory collection. If no upgrade has ever been attempted, or an upgrade has just happened, tix-autoupgrade will attempt an upgrade immediately. Otherwise an upgrade will be attempted every AUTOUPGRADE_INTERVAL interval (default is 24h) since the previous attempt. The AUTOUPGRADE_OPTIONS options are forwarded to tix-upgrade(8). If an upgrade becomes scheduled and AUTOUPGRADE_REBOOT is set to true (the default is false), then a reboot is scheduled with shutdown(8) -r at AUTOUPGRADE_REBOOT_TIME (default is +1, one minute later). The options are as follows:

-C, --collection=collection

Upgrade this collection.

--interval=interval

Override AUTOUPGRADE_INTERVAL and check for upgrades every interval.

--now

Attempt an upgrade immediately. Delay signaling daemon readiness until the first attempt has been made.

--no-reboot

Override AUTOUPGRADE_REBOOT with false and do not reboot after an upgrade has been scheduled.

--once

Attempt an upgrade immediately and exit 0 afterwards.

--options=options

Override AUTOUPGRADE_OPTIONS and pass these options to tix-upgrade(8).

--reboot

Override AUTOUPGRADE_REBOOT with true and reboot after an upgrade has been scheduled.

--reboot-time=when

Override AUTOUPGRADE_REBOOT_TIME and reboot at when after an upgrade has been scheduled.
