did you give the nagios plugin mode (-p) a try (see also
README.nagios.md)? It will set the RC code to non-zero if a restart is
required. Could be combined with -l or -k to look only for outdated
libraries or kernel usage:
# needrestart -p ; echo "RC=$?"
WARN - Kernel: 4.1.3-tl1+, Services: none, Containers: none, Sessions: 1
(!)|Kernel=0;0;;0;2 Services=0;;0;0 Containers=0;;0;0 Sessions=1;0;;0
RC=1
HTH,
Thomas
