    What it currently is:

    defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist

    Set it to something new:

    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL http://updates.updateserver.com:8088/index.sucatalog

    Set it back to Apple:

    sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL
