This plugin checks for available updates for your Debian system. It runs apt-get update, then checks apt-get upgrade for available packages. If there are available updates, it issues a WARNING level, otherwise OK. It there is a problem with apt-get, CRITICAL is issued. This way, you may be warned when updates (security and others) are available for your system to avoid keeping unsecure versions. The plugin is a bash script. Pay attention not to run the script too often. Once in 24h is usually enough. Otherwise, you will put unnecessary stress on your system and on Debian servers.
