http://wiki.maemo.org/Customizing_Ma..._Updates_Check

Value is in minutes, so;
1 day = 1440 (default setting)
1 week = 10080
1 month = 44640

Off course you can use your own value, these are just examples

From good old wiki
You may want to disable the
automatic software updates checks
that occur upon internet connection,
in order to consume less bandwidth
when using 2G/3G connections. You
can do so by editing the gconf file
found in /var/lib/gconf/apps/hildon/
update-notifier and changing the
check interval from 1440(24 hours) to
a much larger value. The value must
not exceed 2,147,483,647:
gconftool -s --type int /apps/hildon/
update-notifier/check_interval NEW_
VALUE

Very strange...this trick doesn't help me at all. Application manager checks updates very often.

Ye, I know. Today application manager has downloaded more then 9Mb via 3G while checking for updates (I didn't start it).
