Description
How do I get a notification either through email or through log when a reboot is necessary? In workstation you just get the icon which is easy.

hmm yes.. i also tend to keep an eye on new updates on the server

+1

for me it would be nice to have an "i want my update" nag sound every 2 hours or so, the more irritating the better.
(tho for a server farm i would not recommend that)

:-D

Please install the package `apticron'

apticorn only alerts you when there is new update. It does not tell you when there is a reboot necessary. On workstation it shows an icon for that.
