[-interactive-kernel-removal|-k]
[-dont-touch-grub|-g]
[-dont-keep-interface-mappings|-m] |
DESCRIPTION
System-Maintenance runs some system maintenance tasks to
keep the system clean and up to date. These tasks are:
- Ensuring that all packages are configured (dpkg --configure -a),
- Updating the package repositories,
- Removing obsolete kernels,
- Installing all available package updates,
- Auto-removing unused packages,
- Ensuring that Grub (the bootloader) is installed and up-to-date,
- Delete network interface mapping (only on request by option, see below),
- Updating package and file search caches.
ARGUMENTS
The following options are available:-interactive-kernel-removal|-k- Remove obsolete kernels interactively.
-dont-touch-grub|-g- Do not update Grub installation.
-dont-keep-interface-mappings|-M- Delete network interface mapping rules (/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules), if eth0 does not exist. This is useful for cloned virtual machines, where the new machine gets net MAC addresses. By deleting the mappings, the interfaces should be renamed beginning from eth0 during the next boot.
