Thanks. Yes, its happening due to launching of GUI from daemon. But I can not use per-user agent process. I am trying to get some workaround.

It’s a security/stability restriction in the OS: you can’t make changes to a user session from outside the session. From that perspective, I’m not sure why I would want a daemon outside my login session updating my apps — that’s something I’d like to have control over. Most apps use something like Sparkle, that checks for an update when the app is launched. By comparison, I really dislike the system some Google apps use, where it checks for updates and nags me to install them even if I’m not using the app at all.

Maybe if you provide more detail about how the whole update system is supposed to work, we can suggest some sort of workaround.
