HA, You were thinking exactly what I was thinking and I hadn't been checking my mail. :(
Consequently, I've also done something very similar. It does however have a fair number of extra features including: a) Based on "Install Date" sourced from the rpm utilities b) Reports back to a central location c) Uses a "vote" system which basically translates to 1 vote per day the package is installed on the reporting system. d) Only reports RPMs which have been installed for longer than $minInstallAge but not longer than $maxInstallAge. e) Has a "privacy" option if you don't want to have your machines host name reported. Find attached the client version worthy of being put into a crontab & rerouted to /dev/null. It's only requirements are perl (+ a few standard modules notably Date::Calc) & curl to be installed. This has only been tested on Redhat 9 (I only have 1 legacy maintained machine 8-|). I've done a basic interface for the data here: http://www.seekbrain.com/legacy/index.cgi It'd be good if the script tracked what it had already sent information about but I couldn't see the point (and it'll stop doing so once maxInstallAge is reached). Happy to distribute the server side scripts if people need them. Sorry to have redone work. :-| Enjoy, Stuart
