Hello,

I wanted to know if it's possible to update software at a time other than when the user shuts down the computer?

Is it possible to update software while the user is logged into their session?

Thank you for your answers.

Hello,

it's possible to install updates for applications that aren't running while the user is logged in by configuring the "waptupgrade_task_period=240" option in wapt-get.ini.
Be sure to verify that the "impacted_process" attribute is correctly set in all packages.

Regards.
