As Nick mentioned, try "byobu". It's a nicer, friendlier, customized GNU screen session.
At the bottom of the screen, it will show you a regularly updated indicator, showing the number of updates available for your system, and (R) if a reboot is required (among other interesting system data). :-Dustin -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
