I'm sure you could do something like that, but I'm absolutely not in favor of unsupervised updates. There are times where updates can result in an unbootable system or various other issues. Error messages would not be visible during the upgrade, conflicts with packages from other sources might be missed, many other things might end up with a system that, even if it works, might behave rather differently than the system you shut down before. You only have to look at the number of "bricked" Winblows system upgrades that have occurred in the past using this scheme. No, unsupervised or unobserved updates are a bad idea IMHO. I never use "-y" with dnf or pkcon or yum. I look at the proposed upgrades before I ever approve them--and there are MANY times I've rerun the command with an "--exclude=" so specific packages do NOT get upgraded.
