Avoid an immediate restart after system updates
Authored by: foilpan on Jul 05, '06 08:48:04AM

if you download the updates and install them with the installer command, you can avoid the dialog and restart when you're ready.

point installer at the package like so:

sudo /usr/sbin/installer -pkg /tmp/InstallerPackage.pkg -target /

when it's done, it will tell you whether a restart is necessary. man installer will give you the details. i sometimes use the -verbose switch to keep an eye on things as the install progresses.
