# Helper script for "check_softwareupdate.sh cron", which will expect
# a readable text file listing available package updates. Each line
# is expected to start with "Package: " but sed(1) can help with that.
#
# A cron job would look like this:
# 
# 0 */12  * * * /usr/local/sbin/check_softwareupdate_helper dnf /var/run/nrpe/nagios_updates.txt
# 0 */12  * * * /usr/local/sbin/check_softwareupdate_helper apk /var/tmp/nagios_updates.txt
