About the Mac OS X 10.5.6 Update
The Mac OS X 10.5.6 Update is recommended for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard versions 10.5, 10.5.1, 10.5.2, 10.5.3, 10.5.4, and 10.5.5. It includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac. Installation recommendations Back up your computer prior to installing any updates. Quit any open applications before starting the installation. Do not interrupt the installation process. You may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications installed, or if you have modified the operating system through other means, or if you have moved Apple applications from their default locations (the /Applications or /Applications/Utilities folders). (This does not apply to normal application software installation.) Installation options Automatic Software Update Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to automatically check for the latest Apple software. Standalone installer Apple Downloads offers a standalone installer that you can use instead, if you wish. If issues occur during installation or if Software Update unexpectedly quits, please visit this article.

NAME

     softwareupdate -- system software update tool

SYNOPSIS

     softwareupdate command [args ...]

DESCRIPTION

     Software Update checks for new and updated versions of your software based on information about your computer and current software.

     Invoke softwareupdate by specifying a command followed by zero or more args.

     softwareupdate requires admin authentication for all commands except --list.  If you run softwareupdate as a normal admin user, you will be
     prompted for a password where required. Alternatively, you can run softwareupdate as root and avoid all further authentication prompts.

     The following commands are available:

     -l | --list
		 List all available updates.

     -i | --install
		 Each update specified by args is downloaded and installed.  args can be one of the following:

		 -r | --recommended
			     All updates that are recommended for your system. These are prefixed with a * character in the --list output.

		 -a | --all  All updates that are applicable to your system, including those non-recommended ones, which are prefixed with a -
			     character in the --list output. (Non-recommended updates are uncommon in any case.)

		 item ...    One or more specified updates. The --list output shows the item names you can specify here, prefixed by the * or -
			     characters. See EXAMPLES.

     -d | --download
		 Each update specified by args is downloaded but not installed. The values of args are the same as for the --install command.
		 Updates downloaded with --download can be subsequently installed with --install, or through the App Store (as long as they remain
		 applicable to your system).  Updates are downloaded to /Library/Updates, but are not designed to be installed by double-clicking
		 the packages in that directory: always use --install or the App Store to actually perform the install.

     --ignore identifier ...
		 Manages the per-machine list of ignored updates. The identifier is the first part of the item name (before the dash and version
		 number) that is shown by --list.  See EXAMPLES.

     --reset-ignored
		 Clears the per-machine list of ignored updates.

     --schedule on | off
		 Manages the per-machine automatic (background) check preference.

     -h | --help
		 Print command usage.

EXAMPLES

     The following examples are shown as given to the shell:
