See Software Update notifications as a non-admin user

Thanks for the script. No new updates yet to verify that it works, but will certainly be grateful if it does.

When you're in a home shared with family, leaving the admin logged in is not necessarily a good thing!

I hated having to add "Check for updates" to the long list of other tasks I need to do every day. Computers are supposed to do the tedious & repetitive actions, so I'm glad someone was able to put that to good use. :-)

I also used to have time to read the man pages and discover what every command did in UNIX. But now I have a job and other responsibilities... Being new to Mac, I did not know there was a 'softwareupdate' command. Thanks!
I need to quit my job and go back to college when I had plenty of time during the day to do the things I liked to do.

Anyway, thanks again.
