Thank you for your help! It seems a bit complicated to mess with...and it
seems to be oriented to updating windows...

I think that the best idea is to write an app/service that will act like the
Updater and runs the same way...sort of like "Run and shutdown" and not
"Install Updates and shutdown"...

I believe this is not the newsgroup to ask this then...

but, if any of you by any chance, have a link to details on how the auto
update works when system is shutting I would appreciate...If I understood
how the auto update is created to act upon system shutting down, I could
mock the behavior on my own app.

Thanks
