Updating OS X From Command Line
As I get ready to send my Mac Mini off to the data center, I've been seeing just how much I can do via ssh.
So far so good.
As 10.4.2 just came out, the big question was whether one can do a software update from the command line.
Sure enough, it's possible:
sudo softwareupdate -l
will list the available updates.
sudo softwareupdate -i -r
will install recommended updates.
See
man softwareupdate
for more information.
