Support run as daemon, and check for updates daily

[ysmood]

You may use the nokit.daemonize to achieve this function.

Such as npm-up --daemon --interval 1day /home/nokit /home/nobone ... It will check updates for /home/nokit and /home/nobone daily in the background.

What happened then? Automatically update all of the dependencies?

[ysmood]

Open a local site to report what's new, such as use the kit.xopen '127.0.0.1:8123' in the background, then the user decide what to do next, click the update button in the page to update or ignore it.

Don't you think that a suddenly opened site may annoy or scare users? Any better suggestion for how to provide a friendly push service as a cli tool ?

[ysmood]

Not possible with CLI. You may take advantage of the system notification api, but Windows, OSX, Linux work differently.
Besides, if the user don't like it, why he'd run it as daemon? It won't annoy him, because It's him types in the options, and it only jumps out once a day, and he can set the interval to 7 days, etc.

[dracupid]

I think that it's better to implement this by a plugin such as npm-up-daemon.

https://github.com/mikaelbr/node-notifier may be a good choice to take advantage of the system notification api.
