Apply updates automatically when available Is it possible to automatically apply Craft CMS updates when they become available? 

At the moment, I have to go into the CPanel and apply updates with the one-click option.

Maybe I can do this with a cron job?
It's typically bad practice to allow auto-updates -- at least in a production environment.

That being said, to update Craft, you're required to download the new files (click "Download" on the update page and it gives you a zip file), and then replace them in your codebase. So right now, no you wouldn't be able to do this with a Cron Job.

Craft 3 may be a different story, though.
