Hi All
Is there a way of specifying what time of day Software Update does its thing? iiNet have this off peak download quota thing and it would make sense to do all the SWupdate downloads after midnight - for those of us who go to bed early...
or is it just a case of writing an applescript?
thanks

It's my impression that SU does its thing based on the last time it ran: so if you have it set to check on a daily basis, and you run it at, say, 9:00 am, it will run again at 9:00 am the next day. If you run it again that day at 4:00 pm, it will run at 4:00 pm the following day. The same applies if you have it set to check weekly: if you run it at 9:00 on Friday, it will run a 9:00 am the following Friday.
