Hello all! Does anyone know how I can find a complete list of all the possible responses from Software update when the
softwareupdate -l
command is run? Im trying to include all responses in a script with "if then" statements and need to find a list of all possible responses.
So far I have:
"No new software available"
"Installing updates."

@sanbornc I don't know of a complete list of just the responses to softwareupdate -l
, but if you run strings /usr/sbin/softwareupdate
you'll find pretty much any message the softwareupdate command will display and then some.
