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
