That's a very low level command, and probably not what you want to use. 

Do you really want to just launch the gnome update client, or to 
actually update a specific package straight away with interaction?

Launch gnome update client. The actual logged-in user will elect whether or not to start the update process. This is merely "nagging" the user.
