Set Software Update check frequency in Mountain Lion
Your suggestion will make this change to ~/Library/Preferences, while I think you really do have to make this change in /Library/Preferences to have the desired effect (see below for the command to do so)
Set Software Update check frequency in Mountain Lion
True, but the way I understand preference domains on OSX, this shouldn't be a problem in practice. If you have a setting in your home folder, it should trump whatever setting may exist in the top-level Library folder. If that doesn't work, something else is also broken. ---

Yeah, but in my experience, Apple doesn't always stick to their own rules. ;)
Use defaults write with a filename
10.8 allows you to specify a filename rather than a preference domain.
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist ScheduleFrequency 1
Use defaults write with a filename
The .plist extension should be left off when using the default commands.
Re: Use defaults write with a filename
See my comment below; Apple intends to break the ability of defaults to manipulate plists by path at some point.
