Automatic Online Update

YaST also offers the possibility to set up an automatic update. Open Software+Online Update Configuration. Check Automatic Online Update and choose whether to update Daily, Weekly, or Monthly. Some patches, such as kernel updates, require user interaction, which would cause the automatic update procedure to stop. Therefore you should check Skip Interactive Patches if you want the update procedure to proceed fully automatically. Having done so, you should run a manual Online Update from time to time in order to install patches that require interaction.
