You can run a command based on this answer:
Create a script:
#!/bin/bash
systemctl stop apt-daily.service
systemctl kill --kill-who=all apt-daily.service
# wait until `apt-get updated` has been killed
while ! (systemctl list-units --all apt-daily.service | egrep -q '(dead|failed)')
do
sleep 1;
done
# now proceed
echo Apt Daily Service has been killed
Mark the script as executable in order to call the command:
sudo chmod /path/to/my_script.sh
You need sudo powers to call the command:
sudo /path/to/my_script.sh
When you are away from the hotspot and back to your regular network reboot to reinstate apt services or type:
sudo systemctl start apt-daily.service
Of course you can forgo the fancy script altogether and stop services with:
sudo systemctl stop apt-daily.service
