What updates /var/cache/ubuntu-advantage-tools/ubuntu-advantage-status.cache?

.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

After logging into 18.04.1 LTS, motd shows (among other things):

- Livepatch server check failed.

Digging into motd I see that this message is generated by a script residing in

/etc/update-motd.d/80-livepatch

and this script is referencing:

/var/cache/ubuntu-advantage-tools/ubuntu-advantage-status.cache

which contains:

esm: disabled (not available)

fips: disabled (not available)

livepatch: enabled

  client-version: 8.0.6

  architecture: x86_64

  cpu-model: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU         661  @ 3.33GHz

  last-check: 2018-11-09T05:00:22.613601172-05:00

  boot-time: 2018-11-09T05:29:20-05:00

  uptime: 18h38m26s

  status:

  - kernel: 4.15.0-38.41-generic

    running: true

    livepatch:

      checkState: check-failed

      patchState: nothing-to-apply

      version: ""

      fixes: ""

So it looks like this cache file was last updated yesterday with the output of canonical-livepatch status but I am wondering what triggers the update of this file and if there is a way to force it to update?

Note: I do know why livepatch was disabled and it is now enabled again...I still get the failed message when logging in and that is what triggered my quest to understand what is going on here.
