From my experience the more you bother them with updates the more belligerent they become. On the other stroking their ego (e.g. acting dumb when they speak so they can impress you with techno-talk and then snicker to their irc buddies about their idiot client who doesn't know crontabs from corndogs), respect their innate territorialism and throwing a steak with cheesies and a cold Orange Crush under the door once and awhile seems to work well.
