I am implementing email notifications only when the script auto-updates and is non-interactive.

Yeah, good call. It wouldn't really make sense to send notifications if the user is updating the script manually in an interactive session - the user knows he's doing the script update (we can only hope :>).

I also didn't want to clash with AMTM update notifications. Which advise the user if they don't have auto updates enabled.

Then like you said we don't need to notify in an interactive session either.

So basically only via cron and with auto updates enabled do we send these would be the clean way to implement it I think

Yes, good point too. Users may complain of getting redundant emails. LOL!!!

At first that was going to be my reply; "look this will cause redundant emails because AMTM already handles it."
But I noticed AMTM only handles it if an addon is "out of date" and our auto-update always keeps it "up to date" so makes sense why some users would want notifications for auto-updates being enabled.

Approved and good to go!!
