Question on firmware updates

[Zembower, Kevin]

I just installed the firmware updating system from the Dell Unofficial
firmware repository, and it worked like a champ. Thank you so much to
Michael Brown and his team for working on this.

In the directions, it shows this command to examine if firmware updates
are needed:
  up2date --solvedeps=$(bootstrap_firmware -u)

On my systems, I run this nightly in a cron job to check for updates:
   # Determine if any updates are needed
   0 0 * * * /usr/sbin/up2date --update --dry-run

Will my cron job command also show me firmware updates when available,
or do I need to include the first up2date command with the 'solvedeps'
option?

Thanks, again, for all your work.

-Kevin
