security updates check/status
 
Is there a way to to check if the system has the available security updates installed?

Specifically, I am looking to do this programmatically.

Is there something under /proc perhaps?

Thanks,
WT

What Operating system?

If your are using a redhat type OS, you can do
Code:
yum update
