Package managment on macOS is a challenge. This is my amateurish attempt to combine all my package updates into one app. This app updates brew, brew cask apps, apm packages, ruby gems, rvm, npm packages and macOS (including system software) Apps. Note: the app only runs in admin account as it needs admin privileges.

The app has three functions: one to check the last update commands for errors, one to create a horizontal line in the log file and the last to open the log file at the end if there has been an error. I won;t go itno the functions here. You can read their comments in the file.

### Problems
The biggest problem I have right now is that this app needs to be run as an admin user. I prefer to use a non-admin account day-to-day so I'm going to have to tackle the run as another user problem soon. Running as a non-admin causes the brew and brew-cask updates to fail.
