This plugin checks if there are debian updates available. If so, it issues a warning, if the packages are from security it raises a critical.
This plugin doesn\'t update the apt database, you\'re supposed to have a cron line that already does an apt-get update.

It also needs sudo, add something like this to /etc/sudoers:

nagios servername=NOPASSWD:/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_debian_packages

thanks; dodok1
there should be apt-get replaced with aptitude and you don't need sudo anymore (and held packages are ignored).

This is the change

my $CMD_APT = "/usr/bin/aptitude -v -s -y safe-upgrade";
