How to schedule Automatic WordPress Plugin and Core updates for night times

You could create a cronjob that runs on 1am every 24 hours. With WP CLI this would be something like:

wp core update && wp plugin update --all && wp theme update

So you just create a .sh script, put the above in it, and run the script with a cronjob.
