Email Updates script (email_updates.sh)¶
email_updates.sh is a Bash script that I wrote to help keep up with OS updates. For the longest time I simply had a shell script piping the content of apt-get dist-upgrade -s to mail so I'd get them that way, but if I didn't have the time to see to them right away, I'd get a duplicate email every time the script ran.
For a single system, this isn't so bad. For 20+, this got pretty annoying. This project was my answer to that annoyance.
