Feature Request - Automatic Scheduled Updates

[ajpri]

describe what you would like to get implemented, why and how would this benefit everyone using this script

Description:
When deploying a new Xen Orchestra installation, I typically add an entry to /etc/crontab to schedule automatic updates using ./XenOrchestraInstallerUpdater --update once a week. For example, I usually set this to run on Friday nights at 11 PM.

Proposed Enhancement:
It would be useful to have an option in xo-install.cfg to specify a custom cron schedule. If enabled, the installer could automatically add the corresponding crontab entry during installation.

Benefits:

• Simplifies the setup process by automating recurring updates.
• Makes it easier to keep Xen Orchestra up to date.

Hey,

This is certainly doable. I personally would like to add such cronjob myself, but will listen to feedback :) Let's see if this gets any thumbs up's.

IMHO, I think having xo-install.sh touching /etc/crontab is a bad idea. I would rather have full control of it rather than having another program manipulating it. Crontab syntax isn't that hard to figure out. KISS
