We can easily create our own script containing an update command. This script will attempt to update Ubuntu based system, in this case I am using Pinguy OS 14.04. Its a pretty simple script. This script was build using bash/shell scripting program.
Update script using bash:
[codesyntax lang=”bash” lines=”normal” lines_start=”1″]
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
#!/bin/bash #Simple update and upgrade on Ubuntu echo Dear $(hostname)" Are you sure want to update your system? (Y/N)" read answer if [ $answer = "y" ]; then sudo apt-get update echo "update complete" elif [ $answer = "Y" ]; then sudo apt-get update echo "update complete" else echo "error" fi |
[/codesyntax]
When this program is executed the following result will be displayed on screen:
[codesyntax lang=”bash”]

Actually its the ordinary sudo apt-get update command but compiled into a script. :) Its very interesting.
