Auto update check, checks for updates to base system + packages and sends email alerts

@wgstarks If I use your code and run the php command it just echoes the contents of the script to the shell.
The original script gets executed instead but has an escape_filter error.
Ok < was missing at the start but still get the same error.
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap;">PHP ERROR: Type: 64, File: /home/syslog.inc, Line: 875, Message: Cannot redeclare escape_filter_regex() (previously declared in /home/util.inc:4327)</pre>Interesting looks like it is sensitive to its run path, moving from /home to /root fixes it.

I suspect what it is sensitive to is that you have other files in /home (that should not be there). The include is searching the local directory before /etc/inc.

@dennypage
The actual file has the proper <?php. I likely missed it when I copy/pasted for the forum post. -
I installed the system patches updates and now if I run the command I don't get any notifications regarding any updates even though there is a pfsense+ update available.
Also don't get any errors.

@dennypage yeah makes sense, I use home as a work path for when I modify pfsense files before adding them as patches in the system patches area. Root path doesnt have any hence that path been ok.

I'm in the process of upgrading my systems to 23.09.1 and will update this script shortly (if it's possible) to handle the new update mechanism.
Looks like the script was never updated.

GitHub shows the latest update was Mar 2nd, 2022 on gist. -
Yes, sorry to everyone who was waiting on that. Timing of other things just got in the way. I'm going to make another attempt at this. Hopefully it will bear fruit.
