mcaffe-autoupdate.gnu

[Mariano Absatz]

Hi,

I did a small patch to mcaffe-autoupdate.gnu so that, when invoked with "-v"
it tells me what it finds, even when it doesn't update anything... I also
added a "date" command so I see when things happen.

I usually redirect the cron output to a log instead of getting an e-mail,
like this:

0 * * * * /opt/MailScanner/lib/mcafee-autoupdate.gnu -v >> /log/av_update



So I'd rather be informed of every run and when it does it (I don't have the
e-mail's date: field here).

The script remains silent when nothing is done and the "-v" option is not
used.
