unable to turn off automatic checking for updates
Just wondering, is it intentional for X11 to check for updates on every launch? There appears to be no way to turn that off (I prefer to do it only manually.) Using the latest 2.4 release.

I think there is a good chance that defaults write org.x.X11 SUEnableAutomaticChecks -boolean false will do the trick. I am too lazy to find out if it really does, so please let us know. - Harald

Good one, Harald! I think this may actually be a good workaround for the problem I brought up in the "Check for X11 Updates option sometimes greyed out" thread. I will test this out and see if it works as expected. Thanks for the tip. -- Ben Haga ECS Core Admin bhaga@apple.com
