Hi, upgrade_mailer.py is a simple Python script that checks for updates on an Apt (Debian/Ubuntu) or Yum (Fedora/Redhat/Centos) based system and emails a notification and/or sends jabber messages to various admins. upgrade_mailer.py can bet found on bitbucket (http://bitbucket.org/brejoc/upgrade_mailerpy/admin). Issues can also be reported on bitbucket (http://bitbucket.org/brejoc/upgrade_mailerpy/issues). Have fun! Jochen Breuer
