the format was choosen to be compatible to apt-dater's ADP protocol...
apt-dater-host just calls needrestart and passes it's output through.
Could be easily extended, i.e. provide a JSON output.

It should :-)

The notification stuff is not part of needrestart 1.2. needrestart 2.0
detects user sessions and does session notification using different hooks:

The first hook which exits with a rc value of 0 stops the hook processing:
[200-write]
Writes a notification to the TTY of the *session*... if it has any TTY.
Running a bash within a xterm won't trigger this hook - the bash and the
xterm should be part of the X session.
[300-needrestart-session]
Part the *needrestart-session* package: This script triggers a dbus
helper script within user session. This script runs the
needrestart-session GUI which uses needrestart in usermode to detect
processes using obsolete libraries etc.
[400-notify-send]
Looks for the DISPLAY/XAUTHORITY environment variables of the session
and uses notify-send from libnotify-bin (trying to use html tags for
some formatting). This hook is *realy* uggly!
[600-mail]
Just send a mail to the user (mail $USERNAME) as last resort.
@abe: Did you already give needrestart + needrestart-session a try?
Regards,
Thomas
