I would like to make my server know that a new release of tzdata/tzcode is available and make it load the new tzdata release and override the previous.

One way would be to have your system subscribe itself to the tz mailing list, and then poll the FTP site every time it gets email from anyone whose email address matches the regular expression '^olson@.*nci\.nih\.gov$'. You can probably use 'procmail' to do that. I'm not sure it's a good idea to do it completely automatically and unconditionally, though, as there may be bugs in the official distribution.
