Usage

Usage: has_update [argument]
   -h  : This help !
   -v  : Show both versions (online, and installed)

This tool is intended to inform administrator about available update of a project. You can use it with an external script in a crontab that checks the ouput of has_update. Do not forget, in that case, to not give argument. With no argument, has_update ouputs a message ONLY if an update is available.
