Integrates with
Problem
Teams miss critical OS/package updates because manual checks are inconsistent and time-consuming. Without timely visibility, unpatched servers increase exposure, slow compliance audits, and prolong maintenance windows
Solution
PatchPulse Mailer schedules a daily SSH check on Ubuntu, parses apt list --upgradable, and emails a formatted HTML summary only when updates exist. This creates a low-noise, high-signal trigger to patch promptly
Result
Faster awareness of available patches, fewer manual checks, cleaner maintenance planning, and reduced risk from outdated packages
Use Cases
PatchPulse Mailer automates a simple but critical task: knowing when your Ubuntu server needs updates. On a daily schedule, it securely connects over SSH, runs `apt list --upgradable`, formats the results into a readable HTML list, and emails the summary to your chosen inbox. If no updates are available, it stays silent—no noise, just actionable alerts. Designed for sysadmins and DevOps teams, this workflow shortens the “detection” step in patch management, helping you act sooner on OS and package fixes that improve security, stability, and compliance. It requires only SSH access and an SMTP account; no agents or heavyweight platforms. The result is a lightweight, reliable notification loop that keeps your fleet patch-ready without manual checks
