I am using a login-script, to check for newer installed (but currently not running) eeprom and kernel..
It should be also possible to use it as a cron-job and create a little login-notification or send mails, etc. if /var/run/reboot-required exists..
this script is not optimized, just wrote it quick n dirty..
currently i have put the script it in my home-bin-directory and start it via. .bashrc-file like:
.bashrc:reboot-notification.sh:
