I have not, but I believe you can call a script based on a condition with xymon.  Check the hobbit-alerts file for more info.  Big Brother was a monitor and notify system only, but I think Henrik wrote the functionality where you can call a script that will do an apt-get update/upgrade/dist-upgrade on your server.  In terms of having anything tied to the web gui, I can't say.  HTH

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
