Pacupdate- How do I start it automatically?
Hi, all.
I've installed pacupdate, to notify me of any updates. I've followed the instructions, here:
http://code.google.com/p/pacupdate/
I can start this manually from the command line, but I'd like to configure this and foget about it.
In order for pacman to track updates for me, do I need to launch it on boot from /etc/rc.conf or something?
Can anyone help?
Cheers,
Chris.

Re: Pacupdate- How do I start it automatically?
I'm wondering whether pacupdater can do it automatically. Not much point in automatic update notification if I the user has to start the tool each time; may as well just update manually.
Cron is a possibility, if there isn't a built-in pacupdate method.
Thanks,
Chris.

Re: Pacupdate- How do I start it automatically?
You can configure pacupdate in "Autostart" application from gnome and kde desktops. In gnome, go to System -> Preferences -> Application at login and put "pacupdate" here.
Regards.

Many thanks. I'm an xfce user, but should be able to do that.
Cheers,
