Description

Schedules package-update checks through a systemd service and timer using pacman-contrib. It is useful for Arch-style systems that need automated update awareness without manually running the check command.

Automated update checks may contact repositories and create local status output. Review timer frequency, notifications, and package-manager expectations before enabling it on managed systems.

How to run

checkupdates.service
