[Xymon] How to get Linux Update info from client

[Root, Paul T]

I just wrote an external script that basically does a ‘yum check-upgrade’ and parses that for the number of packages that need updating.

Subject: [Xymon] How to get Linux Update info from client

I've got the 'xymon-client' installed on many machines and was wondering if the client gathers any info regarding Security and Package updates that can be updated?  I've searched the 'clientlog' and there's no mention of Updates anywhere.  Does anyone have a way to view available updates from linux clients?

Thanks,
Kris Springer
