I installed apticron on my Debian system. It is very nice. Every morning about 1/2 h after turning on the laptop, if there are updates, I get an email saying that there are updates, and then I go to a shell and type "sudo aptitude dist-upgrade".
That's nice. Alas, now you have me distracted from my thesis and wanting to write something which works similarly but instead pops up a "U" or something on my dzen2 statusbar. ;-) (Though, that might be too subtle - my laptop keeps shutting itself down because I fail to keep an eye on the statusbar; I need to pop something up with xmessage or xosd or something (what's nice for this?). More hacking! Anyway, back to it...) -Andy -- Andy Gimblett Computer Science Department University of Wales Swansea http://www.cs.swan.ac.uk/~csandy/
