   What's wrong with just enabling automatic updates, leaving   
   the system sit idle so it's downloading them at peak speed   
   automatically, then rebooting at which point it displays   
   something akin to a shield on the reboot window signifying   
   you have things ready to install?  It's about as hands-off   
   as it gets, and if your users "need" to have updates done   
   for them, they might benefit more from the updates being   
   automatic, risking the small chance an update could cause a   
   problem, rather than the larger security risk of NOT having   
   the updates in a timely manner.
