Here's an interesting note: If I don't have a X-Windows Server running
locally (ReflectionX, etc), then up2date doesn't work even though I want
to use it in command-line mode...
Shouldn't it just function as expected without trying to establish an X connection?

Recently, I've been trying to run up2date remotely via a shell. Whenever
I run up2date with or without and parameters, it just drops me back to
the shell. I can't figure out why its not working the way its supposed
to. I did modify the config file for up2date to remove packages from
the skipList. It was working previously, as I only noticed this problem
recently...has anyone else seen this before?

up2date defaults to being an X11 app unless you use --nox (obligatory 'man up2date' suggestion) . If you've got the bandwidth to use X, try 'ssh -XC user@remotehost up2date'.
