Hi Jerry,
I think this may have come up before..?? "Automatic Check for Updates"
I may be in the minority, but have LL running on 5 devices.
In my simple terms the flow:
1. Either at boot, or every 48hrs(?) check for Internet connection, is it present, YES
2. In the background check for LL updates, are any available, YES
3. "Pop" a dialogue box "There are updates available, would you like to install now.?"
If user clicks "YES", do what you currently do when somebody manually checks for updates
If user clicks "NO", give them a reminder, "Please remember to check for updates later"
4. Go-back and start at 1 again.
Just my thoughts/ideas.
This is almost like Windows update.
