Automatic Email Notification When Security Upgrades Available

LOL..

i didn't notice that in debian ( maybe in other also try it ) there is an application which check the available updates and email us a notification called "APTICRON".

here's what i did:-

aptitude install apticron

then.. edit /etc/apticron/apticron.conf

change the EMAIL="root" to EMAIL="your@domain.com"

you're done!

the script in /etc/cron.daily/apticron will do the rest

/etc/init.d/cron restart to active
