Hello list,

I have a daily cron job that does the following:

/usr/bin/aptitude --quiet=2 update && /usr/bin/aptitude --quiet=2
--assume-yes --download-only safe-upgrade


So this refreshes the package list and downloads the packages without
installing them.
It gives me the following output:

No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.

I would like it to only send me an email when there are packages to
update. How can I do that?

Kind regards,
