@UnixAnt perfect. I had 0 2 */5 * * - which I am hoping is every five days at 2am...! In fairness I could have it go every day.
With apt-get upgrade - if it doesn’t have an update will it hang on that or skip over? And yup I’m in crontab; thank feck it’s not vi!

@RaeYcrep This is where my ignorance of apt-based distros comes in, but I *think* you need to do an update first, which will pull down the latest package information, then do an upgrade to download and install the packages. I think...
I'll see if I can test it. I'm a BSD guy, but I'm sure I can spin up PureOS or something similar and try it out.
@UnixAnt ah don’t worry, I just didn’t want the thing to fail if there was nothing to update if it then tried to upgrade using nothing.
