XK0-005 Question #1390: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A systems administrator needs to write a script that performs unattended package upgrades. Which of the following flags should be used with either yum or apt to meet this goal?

Options

• A-u
• B-q
• C-y
• D-d

Explanation

The -y flag is used with package managers like yum or apt to automatically confirm prompts, enabling unattended package upgrades in scripts.

Common mistakes.

• A. The -u flag is typically associated with specifying a user for commands like chown or sudo, not for unattended package upgrades.
• B. The -q flag makes the output quiet or silent, but it does not automatically confirm prompts during package upgrades.
• D. The -d flag is often used for debugging or to download packages without installing them, which does not facilitate unattended upgrades.
