# Cron schedule for auter

# Preparing package downloads:
# Example of running the prep stage. This pre-downloads updates to make
# the apply phase quicker

# On the 2nd of every month
# 30 1 2 * *   root /usr/bin/auter --prep

# Every day at 00:30
# 30 0 * * *   root /usr/bin/auter --prep

# Every Sunday at 22:00
# 0 22 * * Sun root /usr/bin/auter --prep

# First Tuesday of the month
# 15 3 * * Tue root [ $(date +\%d) -le 7 ] && /usr/bin/auter --prep

# Executing updates:
# Example of executing the updates on the server. This may have a different
# schedule for each server on your infrastructure to avoid overlapping
# downtime on servers which serve the same function, e.g. if you don't want to
# update all your web servers at the same time.

# On the 14th of every month
# 30 1 14 * *    root /usr/bin/auter --apply

# Another way for first Tuesday
# 30 1 1-7 * *   root [ $(date +\%a) = "Tue" ] && /usr/bin/auter --apply

# Third Sunday
# 30 1 15-21 * * root [ $(date +\%a) = "Sun" ] && /usr/bin/auter --apply

# Every day at 2.30am
# 30 2 * * *    root /usr/bin/auter --apply

# Example of executing updates when AUTOREBOOT is set to no in /etc/auter/auter.conf.
# In this example the prep is run every Friday, apply is run every Saturday and
# reboot is run every Sunday. Note that the reboot will run the auter pre-reboot
# and post-reboot scripts (See man page for more details).

# Prep Every Friday at 22:00
# 0 22 * * Fri root /usr/bin/auter --prep

# Apply Every Saturday at 23:00
# 0 23 * * Sat root /usr/bin/auter --apply

# Reboot Every Sunday at 10:00
# 0 10 * * Sun root /usr/bin/auter --reboot
########################################

# Running at boot time:
# You can schedule auter to run at boot time using a @reboot cron job. An
# @reboot cron job will run on both a reboot and cold boot.

# @reboot        root /usr/bin/auter --apply


# Notes on scheduling:
# - If no cron schedule matches what you need, comment out all cron jobs and create 'at' jobs instead
# - Be aware that for example the third Friday may come before the third Wednesday
