I was wondering if and how can the updater be scheduled to operate while I am asleep.
Since I live away from any source of DSL, my Internet is via satellite. With my satellite service there is a 200 MB usage limit between 6 a.m. and 1 a.m. of the next day. Between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. you can download all that you are able to. I just checked my update thingy and this one is 126 MB. That is more that enough to put me over the 200 MB limit. On the other hand I do not feel like getting up at 0100 to hit the update button. To be more honest I don't want to have to let the dog out and back in, wonder where the cat went, run into the Christmas tree that is still up, and I surely DON'T want to accidentally wake up the wife at 0100.
Is there anyway to cause this to happen automatically at 0105?

Re: How can the up Updater be scheduled
Click on the icon and open MintUpdate.
Then, click on Edit, then Preferences.
This will open a new Preferences Window > select Auto-Refresh
From there you can schedule the days and times you want Mint-Update to search for New Updates.
But, this will just Notify you of any New Updates, through the MintUpdate icon -- you still have to 'click to install' them.

I have my MintUpdate set, to refresh itself, and Notify every 6 hours.

I can see the point of needing to approve the updates and the 'click to install' routine.
I just change the refresh timing to once a day.
