i can't give direct answer this, i'd use (from couple of years back) following script reasonably safe (i think):

code:

#!/bin/bash echo -n "proxy password: "; read -es password; echo; export http_proxy="http://user_name:$password@proxy:port/";  if !(sudo apt-get update)    echo "failure: apt-get update"; fi  sleep 2  echo -n "run 'apt-get upgrade'? (y/n): "; read -e response;  if [ "$response" = "y" ] || [ "$response" = "y" ]          if !(sudo apt-get upgrade)          echo "failure: apt-get upgrade";       fi elif [ "$response" != "n" ] || [ "$response" != "n" ]    echo "$response: invalid input."; fi  unset http_proxy;  exit 0;
