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.

		 -R | --restart
			     Automatically restart (or shut down) if required to complete installation.

		 -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:

     softwareupdate --list
