10.5: Schedule OS X software updates via script
Really? If you're really that concerned about software updates and who ever not running them setup an @weekly cron job. as ron popeil put it: set it and forget it.
10.5: Schedule OS X software updates via script
Really? If you're really that concerned about software updates and who ever not running them setup an @weekly cron job. as ron popeil put it: set it and forget it. Well, launchd is for most scheduling issues an Apple recommended replacement for cron as well as most other scheduling services like inetd, xinetd and /etc/rc. With 10.5 Apple migrated all of their cron jobs to launchd. So, I've actually done as you recommend. And with the cache issue, running Software Update straight isn't an option - I'll still need to do it by way of my bash script. Or you could just run ssh on a non-standard port like any sane person would do. Any 'sane' person would understand that that's not possible as all outside access to any process no matter what port it's running under is complely blocked at the ISP level. I can't even ping the computer in question!

About the ports. My dad would call a lot needing help with an XP computer at his house, so I tried to setup vnc so I could control his screen. I do not think it was the ISP, but rather the wireless router from the ISP that prevented incoming connections, which is actually a good thing in regards to a not well patched-up XP box. |
