| 8 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 9 | .BR athena-auto-upgrade |
|---|
| 10 | is intended to be run by cron on a regular basis. It queries Hesiod |
|---|
| 11 | for the newest release of Ubuntu, and then kexec's into the installer |
|---|
| 12 | for that version. If the upgrade fails prior to kexec, a message will |
|---|
| 13 | be sent to the \fIuser\fP syslog facility, with priority \fInotice\fP. |
|---|
| 14 | |
|---|
| 15 | You really don't want to run this by hand. |
