apt handling in Hobbit for Debian/Ubuntu Linux

Hi all

I have Xymon/hobbit monitoring a Debian box, which has a nice SERVICE=apt monitor on it. I often see that an update is needed - typically it comes 5 minutes AFTER I leave my server :) Thus I often have my server showing yellow service flag for the apt-service until I get home in the evening. I can obviously acknowledge this warning from the Xymon web-interface, but has anyone of you been extending Xymon for handling apt-updating via the webinterface?

(During daytime I do not have ssh access to the server - and I know that I could install webmin to solve this)

Best

Peter
