How do I configure automatic security updates with Laravel Forge's Scheduler?

Question

Every week I ssh into my server and run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

How can I use Laravel Forge scheduler to run these commands properly to install security updates?

From my understanding I would schedule a job with the following command:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade

Is this correct and doing what I expect it be doing?

Answer 1

php /home/forge/default/artisan scheduled:run

Now in Laravel, I can see that I can add jobs in the kernel.php file eg:

protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
    {
        $schedule->command('sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade')
               ->weekly();
    }
