Please use shellquote() to aggregate the $command and $unless parameter values.
You should also be able to DRY (NRY?) by only exchanging the 2nd item / 1st
option value, e.g. "--update" and "--list".

Hm, I accidentally included this change. I was working earlier with a version
that required the Exec above, but figured that the notify is sufficient.
