Hi Paul
The current possibilities in cron-apt are:
SYSLOGON="upgrade"
When to log the cron-apt results to syslog.
Value:
error (syslog on error runs)
upgrade (when packages is upgraded)
changes (syslog when change in output from an action)
output (syslog when output is generated)
always (always syslog)
never (never syslog)
(else never syslog)
MAILON="error"
When to send email about the cron-apt results.
Value:
error (send mail on error runs)
upgrade (when packages are upgraded)
changes (mail when change in output from an action)
output (send mail when output is generated)
always (always send mail)
never (never send mail)
(else never send mail)
I guess "output" is what you are after.
