Question
The previous system administrator at your company used to rely heavily on email lists, such as vendor lists and Bug Traq to get information about updates and patches. While a useful means of acquiring data, this requires time and effort to read through. In an effort to speed things up, you decide to switch to completely automated updates and patching. You set up your systems to automatically patch your production servers using a cron job and a scripted apt-get upgrade command. Of the following reasons, which explains why you may want to avoid this plan?
Options
- AThe apt-get upgrade command doesn't work with the cron command because of incompatibility
- BRelying on vendor and 3rd party email lists enables updates via email, for even faster patching

- DThe command apt-get upgrade is incorrect, you need to run the apt-get update command
