[QUOTE="BrianLachoreVPI, post: 1469137, member: 193366"] Looking for a command line method to modify the appropriate plist file and set the Software Update time. I've scanned the internet to the extent that I can on this slow connection but can't seem to find an elegant way of doing this. There are a few workarounds like - staying up until after 2:30 and manually initiating - or I could reset the system clock and manually update - then adjust the clock. But I'm looking for something better - if it exists. I've found the com.AppleScheduler.plist and com.SoftwareUpdate.plist - but I don't see the field for this. I'm expecting to see a field that shows the last time I updated - or checked for an update - and I cant find it. Now that I live out in the sticks - I have limited BW and caps on my downloads - so I need to schedule these for off-peak hours. Any thoughts on the best way to do this? [/QUOTE]
