Close Applications and Install prompt when Nudge launches

[brodjieski]

While testing Nudge to update from 11.6.1 to 11.6.2, my system currently also has a Safari update available. The action to call softwareupdate --download --all is causing a prompt to have the user quit Safari and SafariQuickLookPreview (Spotlight). Even though it is only the download action. This ends up causing a prompt every time Nudge launches.

This prompt can be recreated by just calling softwareupdate --download --all from Terminal.

Is there a way to configure Nudge to not attempt the softwareupdate --download in this case?

If there currently is no option to disable the download function, then perhaps a feature request to add it would be appropriate.

It sounds like there is a really bad bug Apple introduced that sounds very similar to something I discovered earlier this year in Big Sur.

Guess it's back :/.

I think I've fixed it and hopefully "permanently" until Apple screws this up yet again.
