Automatic updates on OS X Leopard

Automatic updates on OS X Leopard Is it possible to set OS X Leopard to update my system automatically at a specific time, just like Windows does? Right now the Updater randomly pops up when there are updates and I have to manually 'approve' them for download.

"You can set up a cron job to do this. Let me find the command to run.

Look up the command softwareupdate and schedule a cron job to run it.

If you go to System Preferences -> Software Update you can schedule how often to run. By default it will do an auto-update check once a week.
