Then occasionally do a 'apt-get update' at the command line, and 'apt-get upgrade' if you want to run a upgrade.

The catalogues are stored in /etc/hildon-application-manager/catalogues, so you could probably do (as root):
Disable all:
Enable all:
I've not tested this myself though, so make sure you take a backup of the files beforehand!
Disable all:
Code:
sed -i -e "s/<enabled\/>/<disabled\/>/" /etc/hildon-application-manager/catalogues
Code:
sed -i -e "s/<disabled\/>/<enabled\/>/" /etc/hildon-application-manager/catalogues

Set the check interval to a stupidly high number so it's effectively disabled.

One way to prevent unwanted automatic updates is to disable all repositories in HAM and use Faster Application Manager (FAM) as your main application manager. Is that an option?
Manually updating software is possible with FAM so long as you have the appropriate repositories set up and enabled but you won't get that little yellow symbol in the status area.

1. Use ifup/ifdown scripts to enable/disable the the checking depending on the network connection.
2. Use rob1n's method, except use sed to put a '#' infront of everyline.
3. Jedi's solution.
Personally I would opt for Jedi's solution, it is the easiest/most foolproof to implement.
Just accept that maybe once a month you should check for updates with HAM, hell even put a reminder in the calender if it matters that much. Frankly, updates are pretty rare and people useually talk on the forum if there are any. Further more this mitigates the daily PITA that is that stupid update check.

Is there a command that i can type to disable all catalogues at once and then return them back when i'm offline ?
i'm aware of
