## Common pittfalls
### Cronjobs are not running
Did you edit the crontab?
### I can't do an automatic system upgrade!
Doing a system upgrade requires sudo which has a certain number security measurements. To enable running anything with sudo (eg. `sudo apt dist-upgrade -y`) the user needs to be able to run sudo without tty and password.
TL;DR
* [disable sudo passwords](http://jeromejaglale.com/doc/unix/ubuntu_sudo_without_password)
* [disable tty requirement](https://serverfault.com/questions/111064/sudoers-how-to-disable-requiretty-per-user)
### Can I schedule a reboot every week?
Yes, you can do this by creating a job with `reboot` as "url". When this job needs to run, the reboot is triggered to run at the very end. At the first run of the master script a list of active and terribly failed services is pushed to the job so you can check this if something is wrong.
