Update Automatically

My Netgate SG-3100 Auto Checks for Updates, Great :-)
Where is the option to allow AUTOMATIC UPDATING..??
I want my Unit to Auto Check, followed by an Auto UPDATE.
I am logging into my Unit every other day, just to click "update'
I want an Option to let My Unit AUTO UPDATE Daily @ XX:XX time
Thanks, Jeffrey :-)

There is no setting for that in the GUI because generally speaking it's a terrible idea.
There are a few threads here on the forum discussing it but highhly recommend you don't read them!
Automatically updating without reading the release notes etc opens you up to the possibility of the firewall updating and rebooting at some inconvenient point. And at worst failing to reboot because of some required manual step that didn't happen. Now imagine how bad that might be is you're remote from the firewall and using it for VPN etc....
