How to ask apt-get to skip any interactive post-install configuration steps?

Do you have to reboot to do apt get upgrade?

This will perform the upgrades (confirming with -y) and then testing to see if a reboot is required. If a reboot is required, you can do so by pressing [ENTER], or cancel and reboot later by pressing [CTRL+C]. If no reboot is required, the alias finishes letting you know so.
