sure, after i have a chance to look it over and test drive it, i'll send it to upstream cvs HEAD. i've been really wanting something like this for a bit too :) > apt-get --simulate upgrade output looks like > | Inst libpam0g-dev [0.76-22] (0.76-23 Debian:unstable) [] > | Inst libpam-runtime [0.76-22] (0.76-23 Debian:unstable) [] > | Conf libpam-runtime (0.76-23 Debian:unstable) [] > | Inst libpam0g [0.76-22] (0.76-23 Debian:unstable) aha. i thought it was matching against the URI. my bad. however, i think a slightly improved regex would be: if ($line =~ m/^Inst\s+\S+\s+\[[^]]+\]\s+\(\S+ [^:]+:security\)/i) { which will avoid any wierd cases where security shows up in the version or origin. > > - it would be nice if the plugin could be configured via cmdline > > arguments to exit warning/critical for whether or not there are > > security updates available > > done. > > > - it would be nice if the plugin could be configured via cmdline > > arguments to exit warning/critical for whether or not there are > > normal updates available > > done. > > > - it would be nice if the plugin could be configured via cmdline > > arguments to not do the apt-get upgrade half of the check. > > apt-get update you mean? done. yeah, meant update. awesome. > Not really tested this version yet tho. well it shouldn't be too hard to do, i'll volunteer at least this much effort. i'll follow up after i've tested/committed this upstream. sean --
