For as long as I have been using Debian I have a little script that I run each night: #!/bin/bash MAILREC="b.blok...@tio.nl helpd...@tio.nl" SUBJECT="Upgrade report voor $HOSTNAME" TMPFILE=/tmp/upgradereport.tmp # Stap 1: ververs de repositories... apt-get update >/dev/null 2>&1 # Stap 2: toon de upgrades apt-get --dry-run upgrade | grep Inst > $TMPFILE if egrep -q ^Inst $TMPFILE then mail -s "$SUBJECT" $MAILREC < $TMPFILE fi rm $TMPFILE Met vriendelijke groet, Bonno Bloksma senior systeembeheerder
