Digging through Google I've found
http://higgs.djpig.de/ubuntu/www/ho...update-notifier
and
https://oops.kerneljanitors.org/repos/upgrade-notifier/

This looks like it needs to be run as root, does it?

I've been unable to find decent screenshots, but if it needs to run as root
I'd rather take apt-watch.

The irony is that Bill Gates claims to be making a stable operating
system and Linus Torvalds claims to be trying to take over the
world. -- seen on the net
