Checking installed versions

[creolbuay]

I was wondering if there was a command I could use to show what version of different software is installed on a server. Say for example... Apache released a httpd patch and I want to ensure I have the latest package installed. I want to do this for all the other software I have installed. Maybe something that produces a list of everything installed and the current version installed?

I really appreciate your time.

dpkg -l apache*|grep -e ^i

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the long delay, been super busy in training classes at work.
