check-support-status: command not found

by Deepika

check-support-status is a command-line utility in Linux that is used to check the support status of a system. It is part of the update-manager-core package in Ubuntu and other Debian-based distributions, and is used to check if the system is still supported by the distribution’s maintainers.

To use check-support-status, you will need to have the apt-get install debian-security-support package installed on your system. You can then run the check-support-status command from the command prompt to check the support status of the system.

For example, to check the support status of the system, you can use the following command:

# check-support-status

This command will output the current support status of the system, including the end-of-life date for the current release and the availability of security updates and other support resources.

If you encounter the below error while running the command check-support-status:

Distribution Command
Debian apt-get install debian-security-support
Ubuntu apt-get install debian-security-support
Kali Linux apt-get install debian-security-support
Raspbian apt-get install debian-security-support
