If you talk to me, you have to know that i've modified the Info.plist so that original Software Update can be replaced by mine. That's why the name and the interface have changed ! :-)

I wanted to replace it in my next release ... ah one surprise which is not a surprise anymore.

:-)
Oops sorry Zeph, didn't mean to steal your thunder... :)

@ Naquadda, i agree Apple programs should be left alone normally, but in this case (as Zephyroth has mentioned) the current Software Update is a bit useless to us AMD owners. If anything does go wrong because of replacing this, you can just copy the backup back to it's original location.

[cite] naquaada:[/cite]I know, but I still keep all original Apple software. By the way, if the Software Update is updated (hehe, to update an updater is a funny thing) your updater will be deleted.
Zeph could get his AMD Software Update to check for 'Software Update' updates and remove them, like it does already for the mach_kernel and system.kext. I would of thought that should be possible...

That's exactly what I plan to do.

Zeph, replacing SWU with ASU turns off the ability to perform automatic/scheduled update checks. Can this be resolved?

I need to check this.

Where (dir/file) are the Updates listed which are shown in the 'Installed Updates' list in the prefernces pane?

Is there a solution to perform automatic/scheduled update checks?

I just wanted to add that users can replace the default system icon by placing the attached file into:

Code:

/System/Library/PreferencePanes/SoftwareUpdate.prefPane/Contents/Resources

SoftwareUpdate.icns.zip

Thanks for the tip bud, It's all about the fine details... :)

(I was interested to see what your other preference panes were for, that GrabUp is really cool!)

I wouldn't be without GrabUp :-)
