Auto updates

What I was thinking was that whereas now we get 'xx updates available' message when we log in via ssh, would it be possible to say 'upgrades automatically installed - a reboot is required' instead?

What message do you exactly want to have. I investigated the logic behind and found place to add this function.

Terminal

ssh kmxbilr
Linux kmxbilr 4.8.10+ #1 PREEMPT Thu Nov 24 00:15:31 CET 2016

A reboot is required due to automatic upgrade has been done

We use standard mechanism for automatic update, so it is not in our hand, we only use this functionality as it is.
And btw, automatic updates will be always a little bit critical
