There is a display option for security and other updates but I didn't realize it did it even with checking for updates turned off. Interesting! :) Eylul On 05/20/2017 03:37 AM, Len Ovens wrote: > On Sat, 20 May 2017, eylul wrote: > >> cron based updates where you can set up the time, and

Ross, Thanks so much, for doing this. I am adding some comments here in this email. I can also reflect changes to the blueprints accordingly, but posting them here first, in case there is anything else that needs to be discussed before changing. I hope this helps. :) Best Eylul -- 1)
