Is there a log where I can see what security updates have been applied?  I'm just trying to confirm that the automatic updates are working.  I see the cron job that appears to run them, but I can't seem to figure out a way to confirm updates have been installing.

Thanks,
Brian

There are two log files you can look at:

/var/log/cron-apt/log

That's the log file to cron-apt, the package that handles automatic security updates.

More generally, this log file tracks general package management changes (e.g., including packages you install/remove yourself)

/var/log/dpkg.log
