I've no idea how to detect outdated kernels in a generic way. In
apt-dater-host I'd tried to implement such detection... but it is only a
fragile heuristic. It is distri specific (needrestart should work on any
GNU/Linux).
On Debian based system you could install update-notifier-common. This
ships /etc/kernel/postinst.d/update-notifier which creates
/var/run/reboot-required after kernel installation. This is Debian's way
for kernel-package based kernel installations... but no generic solution.
Looking for ideas/comments.
Cheers,
Thomas
