I appriciate your concern here but the intention to have it run nightly (only)
is that it should not affect your normal use of the computer/network etc. So if
upste is what you want when you sit at the computer you can do that manually
anyway.
If you turn on the computer you do not want the network clogged with updates
right
away. You probably want to use it for something else.
If this is not what you want, then you can follow what is stated in the README
file. It is very clearly documented there.
Thanks,
