Automatic weekly updates stopped working after I did a

for OpenSUSE 10.2 machines. If this is my fault, configuring (again) automatic update in yast should warn me that automatic updates will not work.
I am still trying to get automatic updates working again. The help text for "automatic online update" in yast tells me that this will be done with a daily cron job. (BTW: this sounds strange because I selected "weekly" updates.) In which file is this cron job to be written?
Install the "zypper" RPM. Run the YAST module that sets up automated updates and change them a bit (or disable/enable).
This should pick up that you want to use zypper instead of rug and then write a working cronjob.
Thanks. This solved my problem. The cron job is now correctly written into /etc/cron.d/yast2-online-update (Before, this file seem to have contained rug instead of zypper, as Marcus said.) Ciao Sven
