Fedora 21 - automatic software downloads

PrzemoF · 2015-02-17 16:46:58

I have a fedora 21 box running on a very slow internet link. If I run update during working hours it cuts off internet access for a few other PCs, so I have to run the update after 19:00. I think that setting a cron job to switch on/off org.gnome.software -> download updates using gsettings would do the trick, but is there…

Something like:
0 19 * * * /usr/bin/gsettings set org.gnome.software download-updates true 0 21 * * * /usr/bin/gsettings set org.gnome.software download-updates false

P.S.
I answer my own question: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AutoUpdates section "Scheduling updates"
