        <listitem>
        <para>Controls the automatic update policy. Currently "none" or "check".
        "none" disables automatic updates. "check" downloads just enough metadata to check
        for updates and display them in <command>rpm-ostree status</command>. Defaults to
        "none".</para>

        <para>Automatic updates enablement and frequency are controlled by the

    <title>Example</title>

    <para>Enabling the automatic updates "check" policy is a two step process.
    First, edit <filename>/etc/rpm-ostreed.conf</filename> to include
    <literal>AutomaticUpdatePolicy=check</literal> and then use
    <command>rpm-ostree reload</command> to reload the <literal>rpm-ostreed</literal>
    service.  Next, enable the timer using
    <command>systemctl enable rpm-ostreed-automatic.timer --now</command></para>

    <para>When successful, the output from <command>rpm-ostree status</command> will
    display output similar to the following:</para>

    <literallayout>
    $ rpm-ostree status
    State: idle; auto updates enabled (check; last run 22min ago)
    ...
    </literallayout>
