I tried using crontab to upgrade packages every time I reboot

@reboot cd /home/toor && (echo "$password" | sudo -S apt-get upgrade)

but when I check sudo apt update after a few minutes there's still packages to be upgraded by which I came to the conclusion this command doesn't work

but this echo "$password" | sudo -S apt-get upgrade works properly on my terminal, I can't seem to figure out the error

reboot cron

this is what it happens when I try to open unity/android studio

I made two desktop files for them in /usr/share/applications

This is the unity.desktop file

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Unity
Exec=/home/toor/Downloads/unity/UnityHub.AppImage
Icon=/usr/share/icons/unity.jpg
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
MimeType=text/plain;
Categories=Development;Application;
Keywords=Unity;Games;

and android studio

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Android Studio
Exec=studio.sh
Icon=/home/toor/Downloads/android-studio/bin/studio.svg
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=true
MimeType=text/plain;
Categories=Development;Application;
Keywords=Android Studio;Flutter;Apps;

What is the additional line I must add for it to open in the same instance not another one.

gnome icons unity launcher .desktop

I have two disks 512 and 128 and i installed fedora on 128gb and i formatted the volume next day but when I start up I can still see some parts of fedora like fedora-workstation from dev/mapper/fedora and one more option I formatted the other disk completely but the boot menu of ubuntu still shows it , How do i remove them from the Ubuntu boot menu ? Help needed. I tried the other answers from stack overflow but they weren't of much use to my situation. Here's the output of sudo efibootmgr

I have two disks on my laptop after a recent ROM upgrade.
I have all my java projects(used maven, spring boot and MySql) running on 128g disk(Ubuntu 20.04) and I installed Ubuntu on the new disk too and I want to run my projects here.
I copied the eclipse workspace and .M2 and .eclipse folders but it ends up with errors again.
Can somebody give an idea of all the folders I need to move to my 512g disk for this ? I use jdk11 in the new disk and old disk uses 1.8.0_252.
Currently, I dual boot for two disks with 20.04

eclipse partitioning mysql java 20.04
