Well, just ran it, and it hasn't worked, but may need a restart, which isn't possible right now! Will report back, thanks! -- TimH pull tooth to reply by email

It's not a huge deal, but I'll report back if I find anything more. -- TimH pull tooth to reply by email

It's not a huge deal, but I'll report back if I find anything more. Security update 2020-003 stopped you hiding the upgrade notification, according to https://www.macrumors.com/2020/05/28/macos-ignore-software-updates/ -- Chris

Look at https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/software-update.html and LockRattler from https://eclecticlight.co/lockrattler-systhist/ for a GUI method of updating software without going to System Preferences -- Derryck
