Mandrake Update Robot

Note - MandrakeUpdateRobot is deprecated. Please use the official urpmi from Mandriva Linux.

MandrakeUpdateRobot is an automatic, non-interactive console based MandrakeUpdate aimed to retrieve and install RPM updates including their dependencies. With this program, users and system administrators of large enterprise network don't have to worry about missing bugfixes and security patches. To run it on a periodic basis, you can put an entry to /etc/cron.daily and run the crond daemon. The difference between MandrakeUpdateRobot and the GUI version of MandrakeUpdate is that an automatic retrieval on a periodic basis can't be done in the GUI version since it's a user-interactive program. This text-version of MandrakeUpdate is meant for batch processing only.
