More info is need here. Is plist a text file?
3.change the time to 25hrs more Are we changing the system time 25 hours ahead, changing a time variable in the script, or flag/timestamp in the plist file? 4.check for updates(1.force Update and silent update) This is achievable with a system call. 5.the whole procedure is for admin and non-admin users We change the unix file permission to restrict which user and groups are allowed access to the file. can i implement this by using both python and shell scripting.if possible > give the reference book for quick learn. >From what we know so far, yes. Please share what you have coded so far.
