Thanks for this info, but I am confused.  Github repo?  Not the Ubuntu
repositories?

Thanks for offering to teach me how to write a cron job to run updates.  It
sounds very useful.  Here's a question:  this cron job needs to run even if
the SU is not logged in.  These machines sit in low income shelters, and
most of the time, they are either at the login screen, or they are logged
into a temporary guest session.  Will the cron job ru regardless of who is
logged in?  Thanks!
