Tweaks

Scripts are named <component>-<task> where <component> is the part to be tweaked and <task> the purpose of the script, which can be install to install software of this part and custom to configure them as Jovian does.

Installation must be made before customization.

Edit the root crontab :

0 2 * * * /home/jovian/Cron/update_system > /home/jovian/Cron/logs/update_system_log.txt 2> /home/jovian/Cron/logs/update_system_error.txt
0 3 * * 4 /home/jovian/Cron/reboot_system > /home/jovian/Cron/logs/reboot_system_log.txt 2> /home/jovian/Cron/logs/reboot_system_error.txt
@reboot /home/jovian/Cron/boot_system >> /home/jovian/Cron/logs/reboot_system_log.txt 2>> /home/jovian/Cron/logs/reboot_system_error.txt

Note : it's a home-made solution. Prefer unattended-upgrades for real use cases.
