Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-notifier
I'd like to propose a way of saving a couple of MB's on the avarage
system.
I noticed that when ubuntu starts, it also starts the update-notifier
process, which presumably handles the finding of updates, and displaying
of the update notifier icon in the gnome tray.
I propose stopping the process when one of two conditions are met:
1) No updates found.
2) All updates run.
I know that update manager checks for updates on more occasions then
just system boot, so i'd like to also propose a connecting scheme like
firefox uses for directing multiple processes into one.
Eg, the system boots, finds updates, notifies the user,
The user runs all the updates, update-notifier stops.
Either a set time runs by and update-notifier gets started again trough cron.
(to check for updates on the following day)
Or, the user selects a new repository, and by doing this, also starts the
update-notifier.
The firefox like start scripts should make sure that just one update-
notifier is running at any time.
This is one of those little adjustments that saves memmory, and sets the
bar a little lower for low-memmory systems.
Its also pretty save to change, as on the avarage desktop, there's a
reboot and thus a normale start for update-notifier every day anyway,
