You can use apt, apt-get, or aptitude to run the commands that do most of the work, and in your script you chose apt for that task.

I think I read somewhere that aptitude has the best algorithm, but apt-get is more suitable for a script.
Chuck,
I found the DebianUpgrade wiki page and all of the commands use "apt".
When I have used "apt-get" it regularly pumps out a disclaimer that it
doesn't have a good/reliable cli for scripting.
I'm going to look at aptitude a little more.
