peak at this : https://github.com/Thermionix/pactray

you dont need too wheel the pacman -Sy in sudoers....

use checkupdates, pacman -Qu you get also a list in return..

or make a systemd service file that is connected with this to peak at updates intervalled time ?

Thanks for the suggestion to use checkupdates. I pushed d001046ee5c21f4b0d3a72c43d6ffde7730ced66 which mimics checkupdates to run pacman -Sy without sudo.

I like using Xfce genmon since it keeps my Python program simple, so I probably won't copy how pactray makes a tray icon, and I won't integrate with systemd.
