+# CheckKernel checks if Kernel was updated and not aktivated (rebooted)
+#
+# (c) GPL by Ulf Bartholomäus ub1x@gmx.net
+VERSION="$( basename $0 ) Version 0.2.3 from 12.7.2021"
+#
+# Input:        1 parameter optional ("-d" = debug and "-v" = verbose / "-D" = Distro only / "-K" = running KernelVerion / "-N" = New Kernel Version)
+# Output:       text messages and a kdialog if this is installed
+# Returnvalue:	0 if Kernel OK and 10 if Kernel is changed
+#
+# ToDo:			Check if initrd and vmlinuz exists
+#               cat /etc/issue
+#               cat /proc/version
+# Error:        inxi - hangs in a script:
+#               MyDistro="$( eval inxi -xSz | grep Distro: | awk -F'Distro: '   '{print $2}' )"
+#               https://github.com/smxi/inxi/issues/181
+#
+# Changes:
+#	0.2.3:		Fix error => update in case only one Kernel is avaialble
+#	0.2.2:		Fix error => new Kernel update: replace initrd with vmlinuz check
+#	0.2.1:		added -D -K and -N option
+#               Fixed error and exit with more than one /boot/initrd-* file
+#	0.2.0:		InitKernel und VmlzKernel entfernt, 
+#               [ $( ls -1 /boot/ | grep initrd- | wc -l ) -gt 1 ] && echo "** Error" || ls -1 /boot/ | grep initrd- | cut -d '-' -f 2,3,4
+#               Some small changes and simplifications
+#	0.1.9:		NewKernel erneut angepasstsys
+#	0.1.8:		"==" -> "=" sowie kleinere Shönheitskorrekturen - sowie NewKernel mit awk statt cut
+#	0.1.7:		remove "CheckKernel.sh: Zeile 33: lsb_release: Kommando nicht gefunden." 
+#			and => -d = debaug
+#	0.1.6:		if "lsb_release" not available use "cat /etc/*-release" info
+#	0.1.5:		Fix trouble if NewKernel is empty
+#	0.1.4:		Fix some errors
+#	0.1.3:		Fix running and new kernel are equal but shown as different
+#	0.1.2:		Remove "initrd-" from InitKernel
+#	0.1.1:		Add Kernel Info in kdialog
+#	0.1.0:		exchange some direct calls against definition
+#				add check if new Kernel is in GRUB Config file
+#	0.0.7:		read Kernel version from menu.lst
+#	0.0.6:		add verbose mode
+#	0.0.5:		syslog messages
+#	0.0.4:		returnvalue if Kernel is changed is 10
+#	0.0.3:		hostname in kdialog title
+#	0.0.2:		kdialog output
+#	0.0.1:		generation
