Subject: Xymon apt - minor addtion
On your debian xymon distribution, would you consider adding the
equivalent to this in the apt test:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -f /var/run/reboot-required ]; then
echo " "
echo "------------- "
cat /var/run/reboot-required
echo "------------- "
echo "-- Required by ---"
cat /var/run/reboot-required.pkgs
fi
Thx,
andy

A first discussion also suggested that there might be other tests
where this fits:
* The libs check already has a test for an updated kernel
* It could be very easily implmenetend as a "misc" subcheck.
* Or maybe we should strip the "kernel" test out of the libs check and
add it together with the /var/run/reboot-required test into its own
"reboot" check.
