    Detailed question about automatic update settings...

    I am running OpenSuSE 13.2. I have limited data allowed to me via my internet provider but from 0000 - 0500 I have unmetered data. I have the Online Update Configuration module installed in YaST2 but it only allows for day, week or month. No time settings. What I want is to have updates installed during the time frame I have unmetered usage.

    So how do I set my system to automatically update say every Sunday night between the hours of 0000 and 0500?
    One by one the penguins steal my sanity...

    Vanpooling now...

    Under the old crontab system I would have put the update job in /etc/cron.weekly then changed /etc/crontab to kick the weekly job off some time after midnight.
    I don't have a suggestion if 13.2 is using the newer anacron.
