If you want to disable automatic update "execution", change /usr/bin/process_update script:

+++ process_update      2009-07-25 22:41:11.000000000 -0700

-       msg "Started ${_UPDATE_WAIT}" I
+       msg "Auto updates are disabled, exiting..." I
        exit 0
 fi

Note that manual updates are not disabled - you can still apply downloaded updates from UI.

Please, explain, the need to remove lines from a script marked with a minus sign?
