Description
I have a simple plugin that gets the number of packages that need updating from a Ubuntu Server. I use the command:
**ssh name@example.com "/etc/update-motd.d/90-updates-available"**
It returns the string:
**0 updates can be applied immediately.**
The output displays for a few seconds, then disappears. It then cycles through displaying and disappearing. I have the update time as 1 hour. Any ideas?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the SSH command `ssh name@example.com "/etc/update-motd.d/90-updates-available"` with the reported one-hour update interval. Trace how xbar handles the returned text and verify that the update count remains displayed instead of cycling or disappearing; the issue mentions no source file or test to begin with.
