apk-autoupdate - automatic updates with apk
The aim of apk-autoupdate is to keep the system up-to-date. It checks available updates, installs them and restarts affected services. The tool is intended to be executed automatically and regularly by cron or similar tool.
apk-autoupdate is designed to be flexible and highly customizable. Its configuration file is based on shell and provides many hooks allowing you to adjust each step to your needs (see autoupdate.conf(5)).
The command accepts a single positional argument pointing to the configuration file.
If no configuration file is passed, /etc/apk/autoupdate.conf is used.
