  • That didn't work. Called the script from crontab 00 16 * * * /usr/share/apt-uu.sh , waited a bit, ran apt-get upgrade manually and the list was still there, no upgrade happened. Commented Oct 6, 2016 at 19:10
  • @Arthur, just to double-check, does the script run correctly? You've set in in root's crontab and the script has execute permissions? Also, I can't remember what happens without setting DEBIAN_FRONTEND, but I think apt-get should run partially, so you should be getting some output in the email that cron sends.
