New command-line flag "disable check for updates"

Every time back-up job is finished, command-line utility checks for updates. Could you add a flag to disable it?

There is a post discussing this here:

How to disable check for new Duplicati version?

Is there any way to disable the check for new versions in Duplicati? I’ve read through the new documentation (looks awesome by the way) and have scoured the settings and didn’t see anything relevant. I’ve got a new use case where I’m running Duplicati in portable mode, doing local backups, and would prefer not to have any attempts at outbound traffic from the network.

It is not a commandline option, but an environment variable, because the options are parsed after the new process has been spawned.
