Update Management
-----------------

The update manager displays all available packages for upgrade. You can select
them if you want to do individual or mass upgrade. The server uses ``cron-apt`` to
perform a daily ``apt-get update`` and fetch upgrade packages automatically. If you
have notifications enabled you will receive an email every time packages are ready
for installation.
Package updates will be displayed under ``System | Update Management | Updates``
in the |webui|. There you can view the changelog of individual packages or install
all packages at once.

The software ``cron-apt`` is used by |omv| to perform a daily scheduled job
to check for new package updates. Security updates will be installed automatically
in the background. If you have notifications enabled you will receive an email
