I know many of us prefer the CLI to do updates - better feedback. I had taken to building aliases for the commands to shorten the typing. The other day I thought "why not a little script to do this?" I am not a programmer but I gave it a go.
Feedback and enhancements desired:
I set the defaults based on my typical use of the script. Update, Dist-upgrade, Exit.
Thoughts?

Code:
#! /bin/bash

function quit {
echo "Quiting..."
exit
}
function badinput {
echo "Invalid responce, please try again."
}
function update {
echo "Updating..."
sudo apt-get update
break
}
function upgrade {
echo "Upgrading..."
sudo apt-get upgrade
break
}
function dupgrade {
echo "Dist-Upgrading..."
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
break
}
function aremove {
echo "Auto-removing..."
sudo apt-get autoremove
}
function clean {
echo "Cleaning..."
sudo apt-get clean
}
function aclean {
echo "Auto-cleaning..."
sudo apt-get autoclean
}
#do it

One of my least talented areas - speeling!
