I've set a cronjob to upgrade my ubuntu in /etc/crontab:
0 2 * * 1 root apt update && apt upgrade -y >> /home/user/upgrade.txt 2>&1
Now, in ~/upgrade.txt, this line is written:
What do you want to do about modified configuration file grub?
I want it to bring it back to my shell and enter 'Y'. How can i do this?
$ ps -ef | grep apt
root 2488 2484 0 02:00 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh -c apt update && apt upgrade -y >> /home/user/upgrade.txt 2>&1
root 5426 2488 0 02:03 ? 00:00:30 apt upgrade -y
user 32202 28507 0 13:24 pts/8 00:00:00 grep --color=auto apt
telling that upgrade process is waiting for me to enter "Y" or "N", but I don't know how to bring it to my terminal. Does anyone have any idea?

The short answer: You can't.
You will have to kill the running processes and run them manually from the terminal as:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
or without sudo if you already are root.

You can try to use reptyr (also in ubuntu repos):
https://github.com/nelhage/reptyr
via
reptyr PID (which you already have)
