For the record, I checked the 10.5 ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/
com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.<MACADDRESS>.plist and it does NOT contain
the key for WHEN to check for software updates. Here are the 3 keys
it DOES contains:
AgreedToLicenseAgrement YES
AutomaticDownload NO
LaunchAppInBackground NO
Am I missing something here? The preference to set when (or if)
Software Update checks automatically seems to be elusive.
It seems in fact you're right, I went too fast reading the options.
However, I managed to find out how it works :
Switching on or off this option is performed in ~/Library/Preferences/
ByHost/com.apple.scheduler.<MACADDRESS>.plist. The dictionary "Timer"
in it has a property "date" which is normally the next time the check
will be performed. If you switch the schedule off in System
Preferences, the date is changed to 01/01/01... Thus the next check
will never be performed.
The "defaults" command to be used to perform this change manually is
an exercise left for the reader :-)
