Notification of background updates.
Critical Updates keeps you informed of when a background update of the listed components occurs. These are controlled by the command-line softwareupdate tool and by App Store preference settings in System Preferences.
Critical Updates refreshes the Components table on launch, and about once every 60 minutes, if left running; it polls the App Store for security updates on launch, and about once every 10 seconds while running. Critical Updates has a very low energy and resource footprint, and can be left running with virtually no impact on system resources.

Otherwise good app. :)
A convenient way to check for Apple security updates both for the average and advanced user (i.e. terminal command, forcing background updates)!
Any lite weight replacements (e.g. DetectX)?
Otherwise good app. :)
