Dear Dale,
From next CCP4 release (due soon), ccp4um will be runnable from command line in automatic, non-graphical mode, fully cronable. I hope that that will give you what you want. "--check-silent" is a special option for ccp4i, it only checks for new updates but do not install them.
Best regards,
Eugene
