Question on notifications… #18

Closed ghost closed 4 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

Will autoupdate and notifications only work if the current user is admin? I generally only switch to my admin account to update software and then I sign out. Or I su admin in terminal to work on brew from my user account. I am not seeing any notifications from homebrew-autoupdate.

Is there a way to manually set the time this autoupdate happens in the plist?

Apologies for the delay here; I subscribe to far too much on GitHub and end up having to wade through thousands of notifications to find my own stuff.

The autoupdate here, being triggered by a user-specific launchctl job (because the .plist resides in ~/Library/LaunchAgents rather than /Library/LaunchAgents), essentially does require the user running it to be the same user (or one with a higher privilege level) as the one that has control over the directories Homebrew resides in.

Is there a way to manually set the time this autoupdate happens in the plist?

Currently it's every 24 hours. It'd probably be fairly simple to tweak the tool to make that a little more user flexible; I'll look into it.
