Linux Update Notifier
Posted on Jul 28, 2020
About project
This is a simple little shell script that emails a nominated administrator or user email address when it finds there are packages that have updates available. It uses a simple cronjob for timing of the script and allows for manual modification, while also having an automatic install script that inserts the cron, moves the script to opt and makes it executable.
Where to get it?
It can be found on github here
