 * Hi,
    How can I set your plugin to use one of my external cron schedules?
 * I would like to check for updates weekly.
 * Thanks,

 * you need version 1.4 or greater of the plugin over at [https://github.com/l3rady/wp-updates-notifier](https://github.com/l3rady/wp-updates-notifier)
 * this gives you a url you can use with an external cron.
