how about putting: apt-get update -qq && \ apt-get upgrade -s | grep ^Inst | mail -e -s "hostname" [EMAIL PROTECTED] in cron? It's not web-based, but seems pretty easy to me. You could, of course run apache and instead of piping to mail output to /var/www/updates.txt, mail seems simpler to me though. -- Mark Roach -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
