View Full Version : unattended-upgrades log overview to motd

I'd like to have unattended upgrades running on my server, but it would still be cool to have easy overview of what is being upgraded.

Each time I ssh to my server, motd could include something like that:

6 packages were updated: initramfs-tools initramfs-tools-bin libjson-c2 libjson0 libssl1.0.0 openssl
*** System restart required ***

This seems like a good balance between security up-to-date and still finding reasons if something breaks.

I'm guessing it would need separate log file with list of updated packages and .basrc to clear the log when I log in.
Has anyone made sth like that? Any ideas on implementing it?

Would the "Notification" section work for you ?
