Not exactly. The MinimServer .autoUpdate option causes MinimServer to do an update check (and install the update if one is available) every time MinimServer is started. Similarly, the MinimWatch .autoUpdate option causes MinimWatch to do an update check (and install the update if one is available) every time MinimWatch is started. These .autoUpdate checks never produce a confirmation dialog.

In addition to the above, MinimWatch checks for MinimWatch and MinimServer updates at other times and produces a confirmation dialog if a new update is detected or if there is an uninstalled previously detected update and the .updateReminder interval has expired. Also, if MinimServer is running with a GUI, it does the same thing for MinimServer updates.

Wow, this auto-update system is complicated and hard to understand! This detailed information does help, plus I've read your documentation on top of that, but it still seems strange that I would get confirmation dialogs even when .autoUpdate was set to true.

I guess that's because MinimServer was running 24/7 on the Pi and rarely got restarted, so the "unprompted" updates never occurred. The confirmation dialogs I saw were from MinimWatch which I assume always shows a confirmation dialog when a MinimServer update is detected.

So this is making more sense to me now, but it's still very odd that after dismissing a confirmation dialog with the "Remind me later" button, another dialog would immediately appear.
