# Script Name: check_updates_deb
# Author Name: Matt McKinnon
# Date: 7th June 2016
# Description: For use on Debian Based Systems
# This script will:
#   Clean up the local apt repository of retrieved packages (apt-get clean)
#   Resync the package index (apt-get update)
#   If called with AUTOUPDATE set to yes then updates will be downloaded and applied with no feed back (not recommended)
#   If called without AUTOUPDATE then packages are downloaded and an email is sent informing which packages are to be updated.
#   And more ;-)
# NOTE: Perl is needed for this script to work.

#
# Make user configuration changes in this section
