Automagic has been granted root...

Just out of curiosity;
I seem to have a pop up on my phone alerting me to the root privileges of Auto magic. These seem rather random, as no flows are triggered, and come at random times and frequencies.
What causes this, and can I disable the alerts?
My device is a nexus 5, running 5.1 rooted.
Thanks, and great app!

Hi,

Automagic generally only requests root access when an action that requires root is executed or when Automagic is started and root functions are enabled in the preferences of Automagic.
So it's either a flow that's executing some root actions or your device restarts Automagic from time to time. Are you using some app killers or memory cleaners? Is 'Show status icon' enabled in the preferences of Automagic?
There have been some issues reported to the Android bug tracker that Lollipop has some memory leaks so the system starts to consume more and more memory and at some point begins to kill/restart apps quite aggressively. If this happens, you would have to reboot the device and see if this helps.

Regards,
Martin
