I need to know (inside a perl script) if a system needs to be updated.
On Fedora I check using "yum check-updates" which kindly exits with a
return value of 100 if updates are available or 0 otherwise.
I checked the up2date man page but I was not able to find something
similar. Is there a similar way to query up2date or the only way is to
parse the output of "up2date -l"?
