	Games - Software Update

Software Update is a software tool by Apple Computer that installs the latest version of Apple software on computers running Mac OS X. Software Update automatically informs users of new updates. It is part of the CoreServices in OS X, found at /System/Library/CoreServices/Software Update.app. Software update can be set to check for updates daily, weekly, monthly, or not at all; in addition it can download and store the associated .pkg file (the same type used by Installer) to be installed at a later date and maintains a history of installed updates.

It is recommended that all users fully update their software as new versions become available. Software Updates consist of incremental updates of the Mac OS and its applications, Security Updates, device drivers and firmware updates. All software updates require a password, as with all consequential system changes. Some updates require a system restart.

Miscellaneous

Software Update was originally introduced to Mac users in Mac OS 9.

All of Software Update's features are available through the command-line program softwareupdate.
