Check Apt Unattended Upgrades Will Run Today

To check if unattended upgrades will run today, you can use the systemctl list-timers command with the apt-daily.timer unit. This will provide information about the timer and when it is scheduled to run. Here’s how you can do it:

1

systemctl list-timers apt-daily.timer

Running this command will display output similar to the following:

NEXT                          LEFT     LAST                          PASSED       UNIT                      ACTIVATES
Wed 2023-09-01 06:25:00 UTC  12h left Tue 2023-08-31 06:25:00 UTC  11h ago     apt-daily.timer           apt-daily.service

In this example output, you can see information about the next scheduled run of the apt-daily.timer unit, including the time remaining until it runs again. You can check the “NEXT” column to see when the timer is set to trigger next.

Please note that the output may vary based on your system’s configuration and the current date and time.
