   #!/bin/bash
   
   # upgrade packages silently
   sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update -qq 
   sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold" upgrade
   
   # check the exit status of the previous command
   if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
     echo "Packages upgraded successfully"
   else
     echo "Package upgrade failed"
   fi
   
   # Here's a bash script that upgrades packages silently without updating configuration on Ubuntu:
   
   # This script runs apt-get upgrade with the -y flag to assume "yes" to all prompts, and the DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive environment variable to suppress dialogs. The Dpkg::Options options force the use of the existing configuration files during the upgrade process. The script then checks the exit status of the previous command and outputs a message indicating whether the upgrade was successful or not.
