SW's Software Update automatically updates Apple software in the background.
Are you tired of manually checking for and installing Apple software updates on your Mac OS X? Look no further than Software Update By SW. While there is no application to open, the installer itself serves as the program.
This software is especially useful for those working with NetBoot/ARD. When you run the "installer," Software Update will operate in the background and automatically install any available updates through Apple Software Update. If you want to update your software again, simply "install" the package again.
In this latest release, there are improvements to logging for system events, with log files now placed in a separate directory: /Library/Logs/SISUWORKS/SoftwareUpdateBySW.log. The software also has reduced dependencies on executing commands as root, since root authentication is required anyways. Finally, Software is now forced to run only on the Root volume (currently booted volume) to clear up some potential confusion.
Overall, Software Update By SW is a valuable tool for anyone looking to simplify the process of keeping their Apple software up-to-date.
