   Software Updates

   This is about the process which runs automatically under KDE.   
   It can be configured to run Daily, Weekly or Monthly, it can also be   
   started manually.   
      
   In my case I have a package which I do not want to update (I have set   
   the appropriate flag using YaST but "Software Updates" ignores that).   
   This means it is sitting there a lot of the time saying "I have an   
   update", annoying but no big deal.   
      
   Now we come to the actual problem, there are times when I'd like to tell   
   it "look again, now" but there appears to be no way to actually do this.   
      
   My workaround is "sudo zypper patch --with-update" followed by a "2" for   
   "Do Not Update the package I have frozen", and then accept whatever else   
   it has to offer.   
   I had thought of killing the Software Update process but I can't even   
   find it using "ps aux".  The package is "plasma5-pk-updates", the   
   Summary says "Software Update Manager for Plasma".  The File List for   
   the package is not particularly helpful when it comes to identifying the   
   running process either.
