I’ve seen sites that do this but I wouldn’t say any I have come across where 
something enterprisable.

What I have done for the obvious ones like Flash and Java are use a regex and 
url check in our network monitor system with a daily check. Not exactly sexy 
but effective for at least those vendors that publish their current version.

If you settle on something, post back to the list.

Subject: [NTSysADM] Software versions

Does anyone know if there is a publicly queryable (is that a word?) repository 
of software versions out there on the Interwebz?  Since that makes no sense, 
let me (attempt to) explain what I mean.  It would be freaking awesome if I 
could write a script that says give me the current release version of these 10 
major software packages (pick any 10) and goes out to somebody's web service 
out there (someone I trust, obviously) and gets the information.

Does anyone know that somebody?

Thanks,
RS
