Il ike the little green update applet which alerts me if there are updates available. My only problem has been that it hogs a lot of resources for the first minute, when I prefer to get started with a web browser or a music player. The applet does not have an easy way to change its configuration but I found some interesting lines of code in /usr/bin/mdkapplet
> $config{UPDATE_FREQUENCY} ||= 3*60*60; # default to 3hours
> $config{FIRST_CHECK_DELAY} ||= 25 * 1000; # default to 25 seconds
The first line controls the intervals between checking for updates, the second one how long time after startup the applet should check for updates. I changed the second line to:
$config{FIRST_CHECK_DELAY} ||= 600 * 1000;
so the applet will wait 10 minutes (eg. 600 seconds) before starting. In those 10 minutes I've had enough time to start whatever programs I'd like to use.
